Hi,

I decided to purchase the Power Pack and see what the commercial
distribution was like. I found a problem with the way the auto allocate
sets up the partitions. Here's the example from my system:
/boot- 15M
/        -(root)1.5GB
/home-8.3GB
swap- 250MB

Here's where the problem comes in. Installing the distribution off the
first CD as a development workstation was ok, but I ran out of room on
the root partition after installing only 4 packages off the applications
CD! In addition, the swap file size seems excessive as I've been using a
128MB swap file since forever.

You need to do one of two things-
a. drastically increase the root partition size since all of the files
going under /usr will be installed there, or
b. Have auto allocate create a root, /usr, and /home partition
