Heavily discussed on the Cooker mailing list. The answer is that the FHS doesn't require /root to be on the / partition, but it is recommended that it be. If the user chooses to override it, he can make it a symlink or a seperate mount. The 9.0 installer will not let you do it, but the 9.1 installer will. Blue skies...
