Post Install /home creation on separate partition

[coolboarderguy]

DOH, looks like I missed defining a /home dir during installation. It's been a while ;-) I have a spare partition now that I'd really love to use. Can you specify this still, or is it only allowed during an install? Thanks.

you do not define at the install because it is defined when you install !
can you defined it after ? i do not think so but if you want, you can re-install and, when a place for home on g parted is asked or done ...you can choose with the mouse how many go you give it (at least 1 go for home).
best is built swap and home and free space with gparted before and install iso on.
that is not for beginners, but you can try several times, the fourth should be perfect !
try again...

If you mean that you want to move your /home directory to another partition after installation, then yes - you can:
