 I don't think the setup has a warning about the auto partition option.
There should be though. I have had to redo other peoples machines
because they use that option and it only gives you about 25megs on /var
which is not enough with logs and mail files.
 Is there really a benefit to have different partitions on one disk
anyway. I always set the whole drive to / minus a swap partition.
