Install /opt and /home on separate partitions
If coming from old installation make sure to run this before re-installing:
  dpkg --get-selections > ~/Dropbox/installed-programs.txt

On reinstall run
  dpkg --set-selections < ~/Dropbox/installed-programs.txt

You may have to run this too
  sudo apt-get install dselect
  sudo dselect update
  sudo dselect install

You may have to run the install command a few times.
