As the original implementor of the `A' option, I believe it needs to
be changed.  I'd like to see it bring up a menu giving a number of
choices for different standard filesystem layouts [1], but even in the
absence of that, there is no excuse for the default root and /var
partitions being so small.

[1] Such layouts might include:
	/var on root
	separate /tmp
	separate /home
