        man 1 ls

    In your case, I'd recommend going through the install as normal,
    except designate one of the two drives as your /home. I'm not sure
    what you mean by linking *both* of the drives (it doesn't work that
    way); just setting one of the other big drives as the /home
    mountpoint should do the trick.
