how to set up 'no need for ability to handle multiple users on machine'

If I know that "root", which is me and ONLY ONE single user called "toby", which is also me, are using my computer, then a home/toby directory seems superflous, since there will never be any other user than toby using this PC. I would like to simplify in this situation, so that the home directory or the root directory takes on the role of the home/toby directory. Is that possible? during installation? is such a case provided for in opensuse? (from what I remember in ms win 2000 it is with a checkbox if multiple or single person will use the PC).

Thanks Toby
