/ smallest as possible (100 : 200 Mb) ** /usr at least 1 Gb (better 2Gb) /usr/local local program and data (it depends on you) /var 1 Gb ( here go news and apt-get archives) I suggest you the link: /home -> /usr/local/home ** because if something goes wrong, you can start in 'linux single' and try to repair all the rest...
