Hmm.  And I prefer a 64 MB /, a large /usr, and separate /tmp and /var
partitions.  I have a 512 MB swap partition on my main machine (with
64 MB RAM).  I hope sysinst allows for all this..  I would feel very
insecure having all files in one basket.. eh, partition.  I haven't
had too many partitions corrupted during these 3.5 years of NetBSD use,
but still..

Please let the Root decide (it might be OK to have a "default" partition
system for beginners, but I want to have my own ways ;-)
