Adding 4 partitions sizes to the stupid idiotic ^%T^#^$@#@$!!, choices
that HP provides, is NOT!! what I call flexible.

Everytime that I install a new system, HP's scheme of partitioning drives
me NUTS!!  It NEVER fits the application for which the machine was bought.
It cause security problems because of HP refusual to support a modern
NFS (there is this ability of NFS to export directories(heard of it HP?))

I've complained about this before over a year (or was it 2 years?) ago.
If Boeing manufactured airliners like HP does software we would be
flying canvas covered aircraft.

In case you can't tell I installed another 8XX machine and its
partitions don't make sense either.
