The MEPIS installer doesn't allow seperate drives

[jpenguin]

The last time I tried SimplyMEPIS was 8.5, now their at version 11, I thought I'd install again in VB. I am amazed that the installer still doesn't allow spanning the install across multiple disk. Ex. putting /home on a different drive than /

I tried Mepis when they first started I can't even remember what the version number was, but it was just before Ubuntu started. It has had this limitation from the beginning. It's why I tried Ubuntu (and stayed with Ubuntu/Kubuntu ever since) I think this severely limits adoption of the distro, more so than they are willing to admit. I like putting /home on a different hard drive so for me this makes Mepis a non starter. I think a lot of users put /home on a different hard drive "just in case". It's a shame because it's a solid distro otherwise. It makes me want to know why after all this time is this still the case?

MEPIS was my first distro and I owe it a debt of gratitude for being user-friendly and well-documented but the development force is just not there. I remember this issue turning a lot of people off of the distro back in its golden days. Maybe I'll VB it too, for old time's sake.
