I think my question was misunderstood.Perhaps I should have repeated "Disk partitioning phase of installation" in the body of my message.
Rephrasing my question:Can I, during the manual disk partitioning phase, specify that /home/richard/Downloads be on its own partition *AND* the rest of /home/richard/ be on its own partition?
Alternatively, you could mount them at independent times by using a mountpoint outside of /home/richard (e.g. /media/richards_downloads) and having `Downloads` as a symbolic link pointing to the mountpoint of choice (`ln -s /media/richards_downloads Downloads`).2. How could I have found the answer?By trying it out :)
*BAD* answer. Obviously I was asking how could I have found the appropriate documentation.
