That a non-newcomer cannot figure out easily how to get the partitioning
they want when installing an OS they are familiar with should give the
creators of the installer a lot to think about.  Letting users guess and
forcing them to experiment with partitioning is *not* the way to go.

And on a side note, forcing them to put /usr onto the root partition is
just retarded.
