  This allows /home and various other data directories on the same
partition.  The more unnecessary partitions you have, the more
inneficient your space allocation can get.  / and /var  have reasons
to be separate.  The minimum number of partitions consistent with
proper operation is...

/
/var
swap
/misc <everything else>

  I won't get too picky about whether home physically resides on /misc,
or misc physically resides on /home.  What I am pushing is the
4-partition model above.
