My mistake. I meant mount point, not sym link. Does anyone know if the Ubuntu 24.04 installer will take care of creating the mount point on the second drive for /home and put the OS on the first drive? Or, do I have to install the OS on the first drive first, then format the second drive and make the mount point myself?
Thanks!
