[X Newbies] I would like to move my user files onto another disk / Copy Mac os X

[Cyril Blanc]

Hello,

Thanks your very much for your answer.

I am in 10.3.3 on a G5 2x2.

I had also a problem with a Console.log file that grow up to 1 GB. That was
a loop in a software I am using.

That's why I want to move all those files to a different volume so I can
easily defrag and watch.

May be that could be added to MAC OS.
