Hi,

I want to make a fresh Antix Install and have /home on a seperate partition, and the root system partition with ext2 filesystem. Is that (or will be) possible with the installer ?

Thanks

antiX uses the Mepis installer
I think you will find the answers there:

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false

It uses gparted to edit the partitions

I have Antix 8.2 installed as Ext2 on SD card. I didn't make a /home or swap partition though.

reference below

Found that in your blog entry:
I make sure I click the box that says"Preserve data in /home if upgrading" so that my ext2 file system won't be reformatted as EXT3 (special thanks to ICE-M in AntiX forums for this tip)
Thanks. That solves it; not how i planned, but it does.
