Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Jan 21

Not quite right. If you make the partitions manually you can label them
and load the root on the / partition, and then keep the /home to reuse.
Now as in Gordon's case on the first go around you have to create the
required partitions manually. The system will create a /home folder with
nothing in it. After the system is up you need to go find your created /home
partition and mount in as /home. Once you do that you can cd to /home and
you will see a directory of Lost+Found, and there you can create the /home
directory as in my case it is my initials "meh", if more than one user
then their
home directory would be put there by the administrator. On a large
system you
could have several /home directories, for different departments for
instance.
