Installer: "How big would you like /var to be?"
User: "what's /var?"

Single partitions are a way of avoiding the problem, at least on
machines where it's unlikely to ever be a significant issue.
The only one worth caring about on desktops is /home imo, which should
definitely be on a separate partition (but that still brings up the
perennial problem of how to balance the space).

Cheers,
