Has anyone set out to write a script that will create new partitions on the specified disk with the right proportions?
For example, we have a 160 GB disk, you need to create partitions:
swap - 2gb
/ boot - 0.2% (but not less than 200Mb)
/ - 10% (but not less than 15Gb) /
home - all the remaining space
make it parted.
Perhaps someone already has experience on this topic. I would be very grateful for help.

Most installation scripts do something similar. The problem is that it is extremely difficult to come up with a universal solution: some values are needed for the server, others for the desktop, I don’t have a swap at all on a machine with 8GB of memory, for example. And even giving all the remaining space under /home can be good for a desktop, but for a web server it will be more like /var.
