Perhaps we could create a new option, like "Recommended layout
for desktops,"
that uses a reasonable estimate of what the partition layout should be. If a
user wants to change that, they can (and they can always "review and modify"
the partition layout), and they can always resize later if they need to. New
users are often unsure of what the partition layout is, and unfortunately,
they often fail to read the install guide.
People can always resize / later and add a /home. Every system needs a
/ but not every system needs a /home. Is there a strong technical
reason for a default /home? Would that same reason also apply toward a
separate /usr and /var and /var/tmp? Please, lets not get nostalgic for
SunOS 4 partitioning!
