question about /home on separate drive

[Wade Smart]

I should have said I wanted to as the question differently then.
If I ask the qu
estion differently and see a better option, Ill
take that option.

But I didnt piggyback on the thread - as I started the thread.

I fully appreciate all the information I received - which is why
I wanted to ask the question differently to be sure I have
the best possible option available to me.
