   Hi,   
   as per the Subject line.  I tinker with my Linux OS quite a lot, adding,    
     removing etc.  A few times it has become unstable or done something    
   unexpected (My own fault).  On another distro I tried /HOME can be set    
   on its own partition, can this be done within Ubuntu?  On my most recent    
     setup I noticed that /HOME was not an option with the partition manager.   
      
   Can I install another HD, copy my home directory to it, and then set it    
   as a mount point post installation?
