<p>There is no real difference between pre-installation and disk / cfdisk, and all post-partitions are as usable as pre-install work.</p>
<p>Why question it? If you are interested in what I see as unnecesary partitions, just do it.</p>
<p>You are asking the wrong person. I quit worrying about pre-partitioning a 15 years ago because there is no reason to do it anymore. The installer gives the user all that person requires.</p>
<p>If you really care, please email Adam Williamson for a more complete explanation.</p>
<p>Go watch some YouTube videos on partitioning in Linux?</p>
