Well, yes and no: manual partitioning is for advanced users who know what they are doing. The fact that it's the only way you can install Ubuntu with a separate /home partition isn't easy for the average user, who doesn't know what the benefits of a separate /home are in the first place. What would help is a simple option such as "Install Ubuntu on the whole disk using separate partitions for user and operating system files", which would choose sensible defaults for /, swap and /home and create the partitions accordingly. A look at other distros that already do that could help as highlighted in this review from The Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/11/ubuntu_10_10_review/ Bruno -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
