partition up the hard disk?

The installation image partitions up the disk with a system and a user partition. Can I for some yet unknown reason add more partition onto the hard disk?
How do I do that?

That was my idea, before purchasing bubba two.
If there's a way to create partitions and still have them when you have to reinstall bubba two, that would be perfect!
This would let you be able to use part of youre hard disk on bubba as back up.
aswel as not losing all your data or having to backup them to some where else and then replacing them back to bubba, when having to reinstal bubba two.

Hi,
The next release of the installer will have options to disable the format of the "/home" partition, thus not erasing the local saved data.
We are working hard to release this together with a software update as soon as possible, hopefully in a couple of days.

Hello Pa,
Will it be possible to create any number of partition and be able to manage them?

Hi,
The configuration will only handle the default setup of the disks, so if you change any of that, the installer will most likely fail.
Basically, what you can do with the config-file for the installer is to tell it to not do some of the standard things, ie not partition the disk or not to format the disk.

Hello Pa,
sorry I'm new to Linux.
let's say I changed something and caused bubbatwo to crash, and I downloaded the recovery image of bubba two.
from there on how could I disable it to format my disk completely, and let it ony format and instal bubbatwo's operating system?
so that my data stay's intact

Hi,
Inside the install-directory there is a file called "bubba.cfg"
Edit this file to suite your needs.
