At IBM we outlawed the phrase "It's a piece of cake" by our more senior
sotware engineers, as what is easy for them, may not be so obvious for
others with less experience.
I agree that the basic partitioning scheme is fine: 100MB for /boot, 8G
for / root, and the rest as LVM space for swap and /library.
For those interested in customized partitions, see my instructions here:
