I think it's a very good idea. There are a few blueprints on Launchpad about it. Compare: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/home-partition-integration-with-installer https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/install-with-separate-home
But I would add another remark: When you create a separate home partition (offer to) move the TEMP folder (used by default by GNOME, KDE or any other DE) on it. If your root partition is too small (for example you have less than 4.4 GB of free space on it) you won't be able to copy or create a image of DVD, unless you change the location of the temp folder (in Brasero or K3B). I think the TEMP folder should be placed in home partition by default as it's usually much bigger and there is no risk of lack the free space. -- offer to create a separate /home partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156177 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
