I'm with you in part, some tick boxes with a bit more info would be good. Create a separate partition for [] /home 10% of free disk space (recommended) Select if you want the /home directory created on a seperate partition. This is where most of your personal settings are stored by default. [] /boot 100MB (recommended) Having the /boot directory on a separate partition can make it easier to rescue your system after a problem. etc... It's such a pain as a new user of linux trying to understand how to migrate to a separate /home partition later. And don't tell me it's not that hard, I've f*cked it up several times, and I'm no dunce. Duncan
