Hi,
I had ubuntu 9.4 on my laptop with a separate /home partition.
I decided to install 9.10 instead of upgrading.
I configured the / partition same as the previous one and went ahead with the installation.
The installation went ok but the problem is that it created a new /home inside the / partition.
The original /home partition is now treated like a separate drive which has to be mounted.
My question is,
Can i change the home directory in the menu ? Will it work ? Because the /home partition needs to be mounted after every restart.
Or should i have configured /home during the installation (i was afraid that the new installation might wipe out the data and consequently did nothing there) ?
