| 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.
.. . . and if you have separate /var and /tmp partitions, then 64M is
more than generous as a size for /.
.. . . and it's a Really Good Idea to put /usr and /usr/local on
seperate partiions; that way, when you upgrade you can let it blap all
over /usr with impunity without trashing /usr/local.
