Huh? The default 'auto guided default' of installing everything into a 
single / partition is only a fairly recent occurrence. The manual approach 
for those who know how to slice and partition is still viable, even to 
include the choice of GPT or ancient Dos-friendly Mbr. Historically separate 
partitions were the norm back in the day.
