Since it is a one user system then you do not need a separate /home
partition. however the way I usually do my partitions is that /usr is the
biggest partition maybe about 6G then 1G for /var and I usually then make
root an extended partition witha small 50MB /boot partition inside of it
this is to avoid the 1024 cylinder limit of lilo.
