Due some weird issues with my current lubuntu I'm going to do fresh installation. But when I install lubuntu I need to do two things that I probably can't perform because I'm newbie.

I'm going to create 30GB of unallocated space on my SSD. I want to install lubuntu there and I want to create 20GB swap file. Can you please tell me how to do it? Another thing: When I will install Lubuntu I need to do mkling (symlink) hard symlink. I need to move entire /home/ folder from SSD to HDD partition. I don't want temporally link. I want to do move /home/ forever.
Please explain me how to create 20GB page file when I install lubuntu and please send me commands and steps that allow me to do /home/ mklink

  • you don't need to use symlinks, you can just mount /home from a different partition. There are many answers about this already: http://askubuntu.com/search?q=move+%2Fhome+partition – ImaginaryRobots Dec 27 '13 at 16:22

You should be able to do this all graphically on the lubuntu installer. Just select you want to manually set up the partitions. This beings up a graphical interface. You can tell it where to format and put your operating system. You can shrink partitions, make new ones (one you need to format as a swap-parition). And there is also a mount point option. You mount your home drive/partition at /home

Also, If you want to copy an entire partition from the "SSD" to a new hard drive "HDD"

(look here for how rsync is used to copy over an entire partition.)
