Hello!
I am planning to install OpenSUSE 12.1 on computer with two hard disks - 200 and 160 GB.
There is WinXP installed on C(sda) and opensuse 11.4 on D(sdb)
Both to be removed - replaced with suse 12.1

OpenSUSE 12.1 is to be installed on sda(200 GB) and sdb(160 GB) to be used for /home partition.
But there is too much space on sda to be used only for /boot, swap and /root partition.
Is it possible to create home partition on sda and another on sdb(there to be used entire 160 GB for /home)?
Or any other solution to use space on both disks for data storage?
Thanks for answers.
