Is there a reason that /home is not on its own partition anymore by default?
Yes, you can do that easy with Yast.
Yes, there is a reason or Yes it can be done? I am aware that it is done very easy. I just am wondering why it is not done by default. If you want to have the easiest, most friendly and simplified distribution, I think that this should be something that is inlcuded as default. If you do not like that default setting, you will still be able to change it. On Usenet I constantly hear: How can I upgrade from versiobn X to version Y and the answer is always the same: Try an update, if it won't work, do a new install and if youu do a new install, make a /home partition. That will be easier for the next time you want to update or do a new instalation. The fact that it can be changed easily does not mean that the defaults should be the same. -- houghi http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs
