Assuming you're installing LM-7.2:
/usr should be 3Gigs - initial install will put 2.5GB on here leaving
you with 0.5GB
/usr/src - 250MB - make this bigger if you like messing around with
different kernels
/usr/local 800MB
/ - 350Mb (that's because this contains /root and one shouldn't be using
this partition outside of admin purposes)
/tmp - 500MB to 1GB - especially if you're using taper to backup large
files
/var 300MB or more
/boot - 100MB
/home - the remainder of your drive.
Of course, these aren't absolutes since it really depends on what you do
with your system.
