I don't know why you can't technically have one enormous '/' partition...
but it's never worked technically or practically for me. The commonly
accepted wisdom is that you should have several partitions, for example:-

/        100Mb
/usr    2000Mb
/opt     600Mb
/tmp     100Mb
/var     100Mb
[swap]   125Mb
