Trying to clean install 11.2 dual boot with Win xp already installed. How do I create a new home partition, don’t want to preserve the existing home partition from a previous attempt. DVD installation keeps saving the thing.
Oops…wrong forum.
Try ‘create new partition setup’ (or similar)…
As long as you know the parameters for the other partitions (basically which partitions you want, what sizes, mountpoints, and filesystems), it isn’t especially complicated, and gives you more freedom.
Alternatively just delete the partition (using a Live CD, or even the installer), then start the installer up again… It can’t recycle what you’ve just nuked…
You can also tell the install partitioner to format the /home partition. That will wipe it.
