force knx live hd install use /home part?

[Chris Aitken]

I want to do an "industrial" hard disk install of knoppix 3.3 Live. The 
ony partitioning I want to do is to have a separate /home directory. 
knoppix-installer offers qparted -- I went in there and created a 4 GB 
/home dir. The remaining 10 GB I partitioned as /. However, when I 
continue it seems to ignore my extra partition and just asks what 
partition I want to install knoppix to. Of course I always choose the 
largest partition (the 10 GB one). After installing I seem, as usual, my 
/home directory has been ignored (I think it was hda7). knoppix just 
adds a /home under /. knoppix mounts the partitions and even displays 
them on the desktop. Clicking on /dev/hda7 I see it contains only 
lost+found. And /dev/hda7 shows up in /etc/fstab as having been "# 
Created by knoppix". df /home just gives a reference to the 10 GB partition.

Does anyone know if knoppix 3.3 live (hd install) can be forced to use 
different partitions? The debian-knoppix user list is being rebuilt so I 
can't post there. This is not critical. I only wanted this so that if 
there was aever a problem with my / directory I could re-install without 
formatting my /home directory. However I do have an hdb drive and a 
networked second machine that I can back up /home to if a separate /home 
directory is impossible in knoppix live hd install/ I just want to know.
