How to get programs to install on a different HDD
Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2013 5:40 pm
I just bought a 2nd SSD so I could run Linux off of an SSD as well - but now i'm faced with the problem of not knowing how to keep it clean. In Windows I typically just have Windows itself, and fairly critical programs that run all the time on the SSD, and all the other programs on a seperate HDD. I want to emulate this sort of behavour in Linux, but i'm just not familiar enough with the layout. I'm assuming it would involve relocating wherever the programs are installed (putting /usr or something on a second drive?) but i'm not sure, and don't want to just start fiddling
For clarification, it won't be the same HDD Windows program uses. Windows has its own SSD and HDD, as does Linux. Then I have two more HDD's that contain common things (documents, music, etc)
