Public bug reported:
Hi,
I just installed edgy rc. At the partitioning step I chose to erase entire disk
(200gb).
This meant that ubuntu was installed on one large partition, with a swap
partition. The screenshot will show this.
I think that we should follow what debian-installer is currently doing,
and ask the user if they would like to create a separate /home
partition. (Actually I think this should be the default behaviour, but
from memory the developers disagree).
This is how debian would partition the same drive choosing /home as a
separate partition.
/ - 7Gb
swap - 3Gb
/home - rest of drive
Having a separate /home partition is a great way of separating user data
from system data. It also allows installing other linux distros or other
ubuntu versions, by formatting / but not /home.
Keep up the good work,
Lex.
