[linux-help] Potato install

I've been messing around with installing Potato. A few questions...
Partitioning:
If I don't choose a mount point for some of the partitions I've
initialized, will they get used for anything?
One of the suggested mount points is /boot. How will this get used? Is it
worth having? Should I just stick with /?
I'm using two 545MB drives on my 486. I want to keep my partitioning
scheme as simple as possible. The intended purpose for this machine will
be FILE SERVER. I'd like to install Samba and give my Windows box a place
to automatically backup certain directories. I'm assuming this data would
be put in /var....correct?
Choosing Packages:
I've installed Potato twice on this 486. (I actually got the NFS install
to work using my Win95 NFS server!)
On both installs, I ran into the same problem. Due to a lack of
understanding the key mapping, I accidentally exited the package selection
program before I was ready. The first time, I ended up with zero
packages. The second time, I ended up with only a few. How can I get back
into the package selection program without starting the installation over
from scratch?
