Format(yes) means you are actually formatting the drive and no mean you dont want to format it, but to use it as such. -- Anoop Jacob Thomas Trivandrum http://anoop.caremedia.org --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Freedom is the only law.

[fsug-tvm] Re: Installing /home in separate partition
Yes that is right, in normal conditions you will have two partitions one root and one swap partitions. So for your requirement, you need to have 3 partitions. / - root partition -- type ext3 -- format (yes) /home - home partition -- type ext3 -- format (no) swap - swap partition - type linux swap -- And you can use the partitioner during installation to configure the above and use a separate home partition. -- Anoop Jacob Thomas Trivandrum http://anoop.caremedia.org --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Freedom is the only law.

[fsug-tvm] Re: Installing /home in separate partition
@alan, We are actually specifying, which partition is for root and which one is for /home, so you needn't select any particular partition to click the next button. Click the next button after you have specified the root and /home partitions and of-course the swap... Dipin Krishna --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Freedom is the only law.

Hi Alen , I'm newbie to GNU/Linux. I'm now using Linux Mint 7. I'm waiting for Ubuntu Karmic Koala. From that onwards, I'm planning to install /home folder to separate partition. I don't know much about partitioning. Please guide me or point me to a tutorial. You could try the following links [1] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=526169 I think you'd just have to copy the entire contents of the /home directory to some other drive (I hope you do) and then, once you partition and create a separate /home partition using gparted you could copy all the items back into it. [2] http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html That is a complete tutorial for gparted. (shush...or you could try to partition using the disk management setup on windows if you have windows on your system :) [3] http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-copy-compressed-drive-image-over-network.html Now this is a bit more fancy, but it requires a working network and some other system on the network to copy your files onto. This needs a bit of terminal work. -- Regards, Yadu Nand B --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Freedom is the only law.

Thanks Yadhu for your reply. But, I don't want to backup my current installation's /home. I just want to install /home to another partiton, when I install new karmic. I think, in normal condition, there are two partitions, one ext3 and other swap. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Freedom is the only law.
