Would that not mean to keep root directory numbers to a minimum. ?

Can the partition configuration be part of this installation.
eg: i use the following
internal TT drive
c:d:e:f: tosfs
g: 64M minixfs
external attached drive used to backup internal drive
h:i:j:k: tosfs
l: 64M minixfs
if it is expected that a certain number of partitions are required
for the instalation, will the choices of how a system is configured
not be limited. Could we not assume that all directorys are set up
in an orderly fashion on one partition, maintaining the basic fhs 
formate, and allow the user to reconfigure if they so desire.

just an idea.
