I'd suggest root"/" partition of about 50Meg and depending on your setup a
"/var" of 100-200M unless you are spooling lots of mail, news or print
jobs.  My "/" is using 34M and "/var" is using 87M. I've got got separate
partitions for "/usr" and "/home".  You can use any scheme you choose, but
experiance has shown the value of separate "/" and "/var" partitions.
