:While we're gonna be changing the default file system characteristics,
:how about having sysinstall create a reasonable size root file system
:for today's disks? I think that if we're installing on a multi-gigabyte
:disk, a 200MB root file system isn't imposing very much.

I talked with Jordan about doing this a few months ago and he
essentially gave the O.K. (I think his exact words were 'go do it',
but he tends to say that whenever anyone asks for a new feature in
sysinstall).
In any case, I think it's time has come. I'll rework the sysinstall
stuff today and put it up for comment.
