Liam, I didn't find it dead easy when I tried to install Lucid with a separate Home directory on a spare desktop a few weeks back. When I got to the manual install screen I was expecting something like the GParted graphical interface but I found the screen that was I was presented with rather confusing. None of the sites that I had Googled before hand showed the actual install screen, nor explained what all of the options meant. I chickened out and opted for the default, all-in-one installation. Subsequent research suggests that I should have used the live CD to run GParted and partition the disc before the installation.
