sysinstall will automatically expand the previous partition to take up
the freed up space. So you can 'D'elete /home and /usr will get the
combined space, or you can 'D'elete /tmp and /var will get the combined space.
This gives the user, developer, or lay person a huge amount of flexibility
in constructing partitions from an 'A'uto base. It takes only 3 or 4
keystrokes to achieve virtually any combination of having or not having
a /tmp and/or /home after doing an 'A'uto create.
Change 'A'uto creation of /var/tmp to 'A'uto creation /tmp, which should
be less controversial.

and in regards to safety and functional separation.
Still TODO: extend the previous partition to cover a deleted partition
if the previous partiton was auto-created, and supply some sort of

2) When fscking filesystems, use 'fsck_ffs' explicitly. As a
result, we no longer need 'fsck' the wrapper program.

floppies if you try to actually use it. This code will work fine if
you build and use sysinstall on a running system, since you have the
benefit of an installed termcap file. However, this code does not
work on an MFSROOT, where you must set the TERMCAP environment
variable properly. Unfortunately the quick fix of setting the TERMCAP
variable doesn't seem to fix the problem either. olgeni will add this
functionality back once it's been fully implemented (hopefully using
the working code in termcap.c).

and RTSOL in sysinstall. If the respective TRY_FOO variable is set to
"YES" then it will be tried without prompting the user.
However, if the TRY_FOO variable is set to "NO" then the user will not
be prompted for a choice. This is the correct behavior, since we want
people to be able to script sysinstall in either case.
However, the default TRY_FOO variable has been "NO" since 1999. This
is incorrect, and when the logic was corrected in tcpip.c this has the
effect of never giving the user a choice to use DHCP or IPv6. The
value should be undefined until it is set by a script or by the user.
