It is hidden. I do use it.

  If you were trying the live disk, then I believe that the manual
partitioning isn't there.  I was told on this list to use the full
DVD.  Yes, I use DVD as an install medium.  There is a reason.
I came from Debian recently with Fedora 20. I was told to use the net
install ISO, I did. I have windows and another linux distro installed
and used manual partitioning without a problem. I have 2 drives and used
my existing /home on drive A and installed Fedora on drive B. works fine.

I can only say that I am in awe of your ability to do this using the
installer. After many attempts to get this working, I have taken to
install with a dummy user, then edit fstab to get the /home mount, then
mounting, then adding the user(s) with the UID they need to have and
using the existing home directory for each.


Practice, mistakes and crossed fingers.  :)

It can be done but you have to be careful about it. I find that it is easier to install a base system and then modify the mount points as needed. As I use pam_mount for [users] home directories, this makes some aspects easier. That is a post install configuration anyways.


I use a basic /home on the root drive with each users directory mounted to their username mount point.
