For the standard hard disk size we see now, 50GB is nothing. Netbooks

a different use case. Are those users interested in a separate /home by
default? Should we care?


Yes (for example to only crypt /home, which is a nice performance boost
given netbook's speed, also for all the some reasons not netbook users
are interested in a separate /home)

So I would like to propose the following instead:
If the VG > 30 GB (32 GB - 2GB for /boot and overhead), do a split
/home and split things between home and /, 50/50 until / grows over
50 GB at which point we start only growing /home

Given how hard the live install concept is sold, I think it would be
worth our
time to do something for this use case.


Hmm, then again live installers may end up installing tons of stuff,
like openoffice, development tools, ... I don't really see the
space needs here being that much different after a couple of months of
use.

Regards,

Hans
