I'm at work right now, but if my memory serves me correct it was multiple ones, /, /opt, and I believe /var. The main problem is that you don't find out the partitions are not large enough until the install gets ready to start. By then, it's too late to go back, you have to start all over.
Basically, I'd like some ideas for partition sizes. Say if I have a 20GB drive what would be a suitable, good partition layout, keeping in mind I'd like to do a complete full install.
