Partitioning

Hi, I would like to know how to put the /home folder on a separate partition, so that I can do a clean upgrade or fresh install without wiping my data. Years ago, when I ran Windoze, I did the same thing, I created another partition, a D drive and put my data on that, so when I had to reinstall Windows (much too frequently for my liking) at least my data was safe.
