Well, /home would already exist. Of course, that's assuming the directory
is created first.
If nothing is mounted there, it's empty, of c

To add to Randy's words of wisdom
When you have / partition only all other main directories (/bin, /etc,
/usr, /home, /var and others) are in that partition.
When you have a separate /home partition, /home no longer needs to be
placed inside the root partition, but /etc, /var, /usr and others st
Sean,
I believe I'd go with a /boot, /home, / and a swap of 256 mgs or so. I
often do a 'clean' install without reformatting /home. Make the /home
partition fairly large (2 gb or more if you have space)...you can put
your downloaded 'goody' packages on that partition and then reinstall
after you'

What is a good partition scheme for a single
hard drive to have Linux installed on it? Would
it be best to have a swap partition and a single
partition for everything else, to have an
additional one for /home, or to have one for all
the directories directly below root?
