There are lots of different ways to do this.  I find this Howto very

I may vary things from time to time, but I _always_ keep /home on a
separate partition.  Makes life a lot simpler when problems arise.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless,
whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism
or the holy name of liberty or democracy?  -  Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)
