Vector Linux is a distribution based on the oldest Linux distribution available today - Slackware. It comes in two flavours - a freely downloadable ISO 'lite' version (which I used for this review) and a Deluxe CD edition which can be ordered from www.vectorlinux.com. The deluxe edition includes extras such as Gnome and KDE, as well as a whole pile of extra software.

With the current installer, I am afraid you can't have separate partitions for /boot, /root and /home without tricking it. It is meant to be easily installable for the average user. Most users have problems simply dealing with a separate swap partition, IMHO.
You can, however, leave empty partition for your future /home (for example). Then after install you can format it, copy everything over to the new partition and update /etc/fstab.
In the next version, possibly the SOHO 4.0 release, you will have an advanced install option for features such as this.
