I suggest including ideal partition memory amounts for particular hard drive
spaces (560MB, 1.2GB, etc. machines) and exactly what suggested partitions
should be allocated. To the new user, this can be a confusing ordeal if
they are not given the option for a workstation install and have to choose
the custom option (provided that they do not have the knowledge of how to
format a disk for unpartitioned space).
