Joomla 2.5 frontpage override

I'm just getting into Joomla. I've successfully overridden article pages by creating an html/com_content/article directory within my template and copied the necessary files from the /com_content directory.

I've read that this is also possible for the frontpage. It seems however I'm missing the frontpage directory from my /com_content directory. Is this still supported in Joomla 2.5. I don't really want to have to use a different template for my frontpage, but it looks like this may be my only option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Tom

'frontpage' is now called 'featured'.

Override the files in /components/com_content/views/featured/tmpl
