any comment accepted for the partitioning. here is what is used:

  normal => [
    { mntpoint => "/boot", size =>  10 << 11, type => 0x83, maxsize => 30 << 11 },
    { mntpoint => "/",     size => 300 << 11, type => 0x83, ratio => 5, maxsize => 
2500 << 11 },
    { mntpoint => "swap",  size =>  64 << 11, type => 0x82, ratio => 1, maxsize => 250 
<< 11 },
    { mntpoint => "/home", size => 300 << 11, type => 0x83, ratio => 5 },
  ],
  developer => [
    { mntpoint => "/boot", size =>  10 << 11, type => 0x83, maxsize => 30 << 11 },
    { mntpoint => "swap",  size =>  64 << 11, type => 0x82, ratio => 1, maxsize => 250 
<< 11 },
    { mntpoint => "/",     size => 150 << 11, type => 0x83, ratio => 1, maxsize => 300 
<< 11 },
    { mntpoint => "/usr",  size => 300 << 11, type => 0x83, ratio => 4, maxsize =>1500 
<< 11 },
    { mntpoint => "/home", size => 100 << 11, type => 0x83, ratio => 5 },
  ],
  server => [
    { mntpoint => "/boot", size =>  10 << 11, type => 0x83, maxsize => 30 << 11 },
    { mntpoint => "swap",  size =>  64 << 11, type => 0x82, ratio => 2, maxsize => 400 
<< 11 },
    { mntpoint => "/",     size => 150 << 11, type => 0x83, ratio => 1, maxsize => 250 
<< 11 },
    { mntpoint => "/usr",  size => 300 << 11, type => 0x83, ratio => 3, maxsize =>1500

    { mntpoint => "/var",  size => 100 << 11, type => 0x83, ratio => 4 },
