imho do yourself a favor and put as many partitions on it as practically
possible. Lots of people install in the grand Redmond way, one, big, and
forever, only to work very hard later, to move and partition data when the
disk fills.
Minimum requirements are one swap partition, and one root partition. The
root partition should start and end under the 1G limit for least problems.
Above 1G do what you please. Having separate partitions for / /usr /home
/home/ftp/pub/incoming /var/spool/mqueue and a few other things is very
helpful later imho.
hope this helps, but others may have something to say, too,
