On page:

<http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/vectorlinux/docs/vl50/manuals/vl5_installation_guide_en.html#installsteps>

at Vector Linux, one can read:

"Meanwhile the FDISK menu will launch a menu driven partitioning program
called cfdisk."

Usually, with cfdisk, you can create all the partitions you want and mount
them where you want.

What's the problem?

From a sticky message in the forums:

The basic goal is to create:
1. A swap partition
2. A root partition for installation
3. A *home* partition for data, so you won't lose the data if you reinstall VL
in the future.

This message by Cheapstake does look like plain disinformation.

What's more, Vector offers very good documentation for the beginner:

Please, compare to the Lizella Troll's job.

Ah, you mean the one at http://slackbook.org/ ?

Really a very useful resource, with work done by many on the group.
What, in the meanwhile, have you provided?
