I do agree totally. The default are the ones the user sees. /home is crucial. Also /boot should be reinstated since grub has been playing up on some systems of mine with the silly 1024 limit! I cannot believe that that is still around. As a lilo user from way back I kind of gotten used to forget this 1024 limit.
so /home and /boot on their own partition with /boot at the beginning of the disc (in case this is possible).
After all Joe normal user has no idea what /home or /boot is and doing it for him will save lots of hazzle later.
Should we open a request in bugzilla for this? Who wants to do it ... ;)
Andreas and houghi, I think thats a good idea ! maybe we could another point into it: when I install SUSE (9.3 also as the betas) the installer suggest to delete 3 partions on my sda1 and wants to use the holse disk for /swap - and that is 173 GB of space. a littlebit mutch, I think ;) but after your [Andreas] discussion about grub and vmware it should realy better when someone else does it. I would - but I have already /boot and /home on seperated disks, so what should I report ?
beta3 x86_64 on my home machine is in excellent condition. This does not feel like a beta at all ..... What a pleasure!
you'r lucky ;)
