But it is doing this because *YOU* have told it to do this. If you want a /home then delete all of the partitions and *create your own*. As a pilot I have this to say. Fly the airplane.

IOW nothing precious on this disk, over write whats already > there. I didn't understand the equ shorthand either. Let's put this another way. It is election time in my town. I am voting by mail today. I have a ballot. I research the choices and make all of my own decisions and vote each of the items. All good. That is not equivalent to me handing my ballot to someone else and telling them to vote the entire ballot as they want. When you tell the installer to use the entire disk and partition it as it has been preprogrammed to do that is what you are doing. You are giving up your decisions and handing them off to another.
