HD Install :: How to create a /home/ partition ?

Hi,
All is in the question : How to create a /home/ partition with DSL 3.0 ?

When I modified the "/etc/fstab" file to get the /home/ partition, the file was writen again when the PC boot ! What have I to do ?

Thanks

Use the boot option dsl home=hda1, assuming /dev/hda1 is the target partition, and it is a linux partition. If you don't have a directory "/home/dsl" on that partition it will be created from the contents of /etc/skel. If the directory is already there, DSL will use whatever files are available. You should probably let DSL create the directory initially so you don't miss out on some important features included in those default configs.

Thanks,

but I wanted to get a /home/ partition after to install DSL on the hard disk, not after to boot on the live CD !
Is it the same solution ?

If you have a frugal HD install it is the same solution. If you have a traditional HD install you would have to modify /etc/fstab and then use the boot option "nofstab" to prevent the file from being automatically generated during the boot process.

I tried this and it won't work for me
