Just check the "Install Everything" box on a RedHat 6.2 install and you
have their install scheme.  This is how it was partitioned:

[tomc@virgo tomc]$ df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6              1035660    104884    878168  11% /

/dev/sda9               256667     80107    163308  33% /var
/dev/sda2              4134932     47884   3877000   1% /home


I would have configured a bigger /var partition, but it has worked so far.

Sounds like a reformat & reinstall would be a pain with making sure you
have the PERC drivers around during the install.  But then again I can't
really comment on this since I didn't do it.  It might actually have been
easy...
