Hi

How much space did you allocate?

You cannot easily install parts once installed, but you can create different partitions and install parts to those partitions. Many install /home to a different partition. And there are instructions for moving /home to another partition if you want those.

I normally suggest that all of the system be on one drive and let data be on which ever drive has space. I keep /home inside my / (root) but link all data from /mnt/data or /mnt/shared (NTFS) partitions that often are on another drive. Then I only use 20 or 25GB for every root install.

sudo fdisk -lu
