Ron,

Just install as follows. (you can vary it after the swap
and / partitions.)

sda1 - swap, 110M.
sda2 - / (root) 400M
sda3 - /usr 3000M
sda4 - extended partion for remainder of hd
sda5 - /home (whatever amount)
sda6 - /opt (same as above)
-- etc, you might want a seperate /var, etc.

Basically, it depends on what your going to
do with the system. (workstation, server, etc.)

The key is the first 2 partitions, notice how
they reside within the hd limit. ;)

Regards,

Dana
