This is why smart people make /home, /opt, and /local to be separate
filesystems (or at least make /local a symbolic link to something
like /home/local and/or /opt to be a symbolic link to /home/opt.)
This should be the DEFAULT set-up for a new installation, because
the uninitiated has absolutely no idea that having /home, /local
and /opt on the root filesystem is setting them up for major
headaches when they want to install the system.
AFAIK /home is by default on a different partition. The other ones are rather
special for people installing a lots of additional software.
In fact, in the install, it would be REALLY super-nice if I
could specify the creation of any symbolic links and target
directories before ANY packages are installed.
This sounds like super-expert stuff. You can do it with add-on product, but I
don't think this will be ever implemented.
No, I doubt it ever will be... it's a "wish list" item.
BTW, what "add-on product" is going to do this in the middle
of installation?
For example, I might not want /var/fonts on the /var partition...
but would instead, prefer to put it in some place like /opt/fonts
or /local/fonts )
Right now, it involves doing the install, then going into
single user mode, moving the fonts directory and creating
the symbolic link from /var/fonts to /local/fonts...
Not much of a problem on all IDE systems, but when you're
dealing with SCSI disks, partition size can still be
a factor.
