People are supposed to adjust their setup on their own, yes.

Just create the according partitions.  Assuming you want to use
/dev/hda2 as your /home partition run something like (depends on
your setup and needs of course):

mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2
cp -a /home/* /mnt/hda2/
umount /mnt/hda2

and adjust /etc/fstab then (/dev/hda2 /home ....).
