Partition sizes

[Joel Hammer]

Just installed RH 7.1 and let the automatic installer do it as a server
but with no graphical thingees (KDE, etc).  Here is the partition table
it set up:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda8             251M   49M  189M  21% /
/dev/hda1              53M  3.4M   47M   7% /boot
/dev/hda6              13G   48k   11G   1% /home
/dev/hda5              13G  424M   11G   4% /usr
/dev/hda7             251M   16M  221M   7% /var

This seems odd, seeing as /opt and /tmp are on hda8, which is quite small, and
/var, which can get quite big, is also a small partition. This seems
odd. Does anyone know why Redhat does this?
