Hi,

I just read something in the d-i manual in 
Appendix C. Partitioning for Debian (see
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apcs01.html.en), which is
confusing:
Shortened to some words, it's like this:

Debian needs at least one partition for itself.
But you should probably spent some more partitions for Debian.
You should at least create a root partition.
                             ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^


Huh? You should create a root partition, but you don't have to?
That's wrong.
I would have prepared a patch, but I'm unsure what was really meant
here.

Re-reading this bug after some years, I no longer see a necessity
for a change (given that there are many ways to go, like LVM, as
Len Sorensen already stated).

So I'm closing this bug.
