You could have a different kickstart file for each option, one that
includes the partitioning information, and one that allows them to
choose.  Of course, there is only one default, so one group would have
to type something at the boot screen.

It is also possible, but much more difficult, to rebuild anaconda with
an extra screen to allow user choices.
