I guess my question degenerates to, "Is there an 'out of box' way to install debian potato where you isolate /, /boot, /etc, /bin, /sbin, /lib, /dev on a partition without partitioning up every thing else?
Possibly putting /tmp in its own partition as well, but then you might as well isolation /proc for the same reasons too, no?
