Yes, I realize that. When I first installed Ubuntu on another system,
I was surprised to see that everything was installed in one partition,
root. If I was installing FC5 from scratch, I would do the same.
However, IIRC, earlier anacondas used to set up separate root, boot,
and home directries by default -- or perhaps it was just the person
who first installed it for me -- and I would prefer, if possible, to
update the existing system as it now stands, mainly because I have
177G in my home drive and I would really prefer not to have to copy
all those files back and forth.
