Manual disk partitioning guide for Kubuntu 11.04

[ Thanks to finid for this link. ]

"Like the Ubuntu 11.04 installer, the Kubuntu 11.04 installation program configures just two partitions by default. These are for /, the root directory, and Swap, disk space for use as virtual memory. To make upgrades less tasking, it is recommended that a separate partition be created for /home, the directory where your home folder will be located.

"This article presents a step-by-step guide on how to configure these partitions manually. A similar article for Ubuntu 11.04 is available here. Note that this article is based on the graphical installation program, not the Alternate installer, which uses an ncurses-based installation program."
