 The current mininum sizes are:
 
 / 128M (alpha,ia64,sparc64,amd64)
 / 118M (everything else)
 swap 32M
 /usr 160M
 /var, /tmp, /home 20M
 
 Defaults are:
 
 / 512M
 /usr 8G
 /var 1G
 /tmp 512M
 /home 8G
 
 If the defaults can't be met, we try the following values before falling
 back to the minimum:
 
 / 256M
 /usr 1.5G
 /var 128M
 /tmp 128M
 /home 1.5G
 
 This information in sysinstall/label.c.
