My question goes to specifics. I just don't understand how you tell 
Fedora, during installation, to put /home on partition xyz, and the rest 
of not-root on partition abc --- I certainly believe its possible 
because I 've read many posts counseling separating /home to its own 
partition. I just don't understand the practicals - how do you actually 
do that during an install?
