I do agree totally. The default are the ones the user sees. /home is crucial. The question here is: How big should the /home partition be? Sounds

For me, 1GB would be absolutely enough, since I store the remaining gigabytes on my windows partition anyway, so I can also easily access my data with windows. Whatever automatic setup you choose, there will always be some people complaining because it does not fit their needs! IMHO _not_ creating a special /home seems to be the best compromise that will create the least problems.
Also /boot should be reinstated since grub has been playing up on some systems of mine with the silly 1024 limit!
I agree on /boot, although for a different reason. A friend of mine had a Suse system. One time it crashed and after that not even grub would start! Turned out his file system for / had some corruptions cause by the crash that prevented grub from reading /boot/grub/menu.lst. As a result, he couldn't even start windows! With /boot on a seperate partition this could not happen, since /boot is hardly ever written to. Regards Stefan
