If you are unsure - why not set it up like 512MB swap, maybe 10mb for 
/boot and the other alltogether on one root-partition? I wouldn't 
split it into /var, /tmp, ... since this leads to problems afterwards 
.. if you don't want to play around with LVM on a running system. If 
you have much data in your /home then you could also make this a 
separate partition - okay ... but I wouldn't split it too much.
