I admit, I have done this once and I found it more trouble than it is worth. I just backup my Home Folder contents so that if I must reinstall, I restore the back up. What Zabadabadoo is describing is installing root on one partition but the /home directory on a separate partition so that any reinstallation of root can be done separately from /home, preserving your /home directory contents on the new installation of the new Root. Where $USER means *your actual user name you created when you installed Zorin. The path to that file would be /home/$USER/Music/back.mp3. Within that you may have a /Music directory or Music folder containing a file named bach.mp3. Older PCs with less than 2GB of RAM may only be compatible with the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version is recommended for most computers. For example, you create a User name that is Your Home Directory within /home. For old computers With lightweight desktop based on XFCE. The topmost directory is / which occupies one partition.Ī directory tree shows a path that you take to reach a directory within a directory.
#Zorin os 15 install
When you install as / then you install all directories in One Partition. This is the topmost directory that contains all other directories.

When you see just / - this refers to the Top Level directory: Root. So if you refer to the Home directory, it would be: /home. A partition is created with the name "/" so I need to formate the "/" partition?
