They're actually quite related. The installer UI is intended* to
present meaningful decisions, and make those choices easier and more
straightforward by not necessarily offering all the possibilities when
the result is effectively the same.

or use kickstart to partition very flexibly.



* how well it succeeds _is_ another question.
