I haven't had an OS install offer that in a long time. Sure, there's probably something under an "Advanced" button that allows that, but stock Debian and Ubuntu within living memory has just hung it off /.
Anyway, thank Ivan for the Cronopete link: it looks useful. If it's like Apple's TimeMachine it'll just keep expanding until it fills the disk, so needs to be used with care (and quotas) on networked storage.
Certainly every debian install I have done asks: All one partition, seperate /home, and some other option I forget. So it does ask, even in non expert mode, although if you just bash enter a lot it will use a single large partition. I certainly do find that for most people, a seperate /home is extremely annoying and you always end up finding some partition is too small and another too larger. On a destop machine that is. On a server you better do things "right". -- Len Sorensen
