It's looking really good. At the moment however, I'm completely out of time!

so I can't test it until 2015!

The option to move selected directories to other partitions has been added in refractainstaller-9.1.4.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/refracta/files/testing/

Note:
- The extra partition(s) must be created and formatted either during the partitioning phase of the installer or before running the installer.
- In the gui installer, the option is in the expert options window.
- In the cli installer, you have to set additional_partitions="yes" in the config file.
- Any selected directories are first copied along with the rest of whatever is going onto the root partition, and at the end of the installation, they're copied to the extra partitions and then deleted from the root partition. Point is, make sure your root partition is big enough to hold it all.
