[EN] How to proceed installation without seperate /home
« on: 2014/11/02, 07:31:48 »
Hi friends,
This is my first post in the forum, even though i am using siduction from the
last two years. I was using siduction desparado with updates. Now I decided to
go for a fresh installation of siduction "paintitblack". I burned the iso into
a usb drive and proceed with the installation. Now i will explain my issue.

My Hard drive in partitioned in this format

/dev/sda1     *     Linux
/dev/sda2          Extended
/dev/sda5     Linux     
/dev/sda6     Swap
/dev/sda7     Linux

/dev/sda1 is my mageia installation.
/dev/sda6 is swap
/dev/sd7 is partition set for data
/dev/sda5 where i want to install siduction. it already contains old siduction
installation.

Now my idea was to install siduction to /dev/sda5. And i dont want seperate
/home partition.

Now when i starts siduction installer, and goes to manual partition option, i
can select /dev/sda5 for root.

But in the next screen, siduction installer asks for home partition, and
advises to go for separate /home.

Now my  question is, how i can install siduction to /dev/sda5 without seperate
/home. If i ignore the option for separate /home, sidction will be installed
in /dev/sda5 without separate /home?

Thank you in advance.

Yours sreekumar
