Now, as to planning, is there any good reason to make seperate partitions for /, home, usr, var? I have seen advise that at least making a seperate home partition is recomended, in case you want to do an upgrade later. But, as I can see from recent and old posts, upgrade is not the best way, rather new install is. This being the case, is there any compelling reason not to just put the entire install on one partition?
A /home partition is good to have even in the case of a fresh install. As well as any other partitions you want to keep between fresh installs. I keep: /home /ftparea (where I download things) /vmware and a few others.
