Well, ATM I'm ready to shoot all the neighborhood cats. Something is
shutting the stretch system off in about 5 minutes of mouse or keyboard
inactivity, so I've had to recompose an install list and restart
synaptic 5 or 6 times now. ATM, it goes straight to a gnome login asking me
for my user pw. I
didn't note if there was a session clicker or not. My mistake I
expect.
I don't know about gdm, but tdm and lightdm both will auto-login to
whatever desktop you last logged in to. To switch, logout, then
select the session type at the display manager's login screen, and
login. Then, to add insult to injury, the default system
partition it sets up
during the install for /, when you ask it for a separate /home, on a 2
terabyte drive is 30 GB.

I have never had ant great success at pre-partitioning
a drive, the
installer never accepts what you so carefully lay out with gparted,
From what you say I'd guess you're installing new. Then partitioning, then
doing an "expert install" (I prefer the expert graphical install) should use
your partitions (it takes some time to understand how to tell the installer
where to install, but it works.
I do use a 30 GB home (I use 50GB for / and 15 - 30 GB for /home) as it makes
backups faster and easier. I mount other partition on specific directories if
necessary (for example on one machine .playonlinux is on a 200GB partition on
another disc, I don't want to backup this everytime and I could live without
the games). But this is you decision.
