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).
This option doesn't exist because it's a bad idea and doesn't simplify anything.
In Windows it's the same. Your files are stored in "C:\Documents and Settings\toby", while there's also a "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator" directory, not matter if you check that checkbox during installation or not.
There is no other way, because that's how it is designed to be. I wonder what you're trying to "simplify" here. Get rid of that? /root? /home/toby? Forget /root, you won't be using it. You *shouldn't* be using it. Only login as root when you really need to. Which means almost never.
