Many people simply install everything under /. But, I would recommend having a separate /home partition. The main advantage to this is that when you go to install a later (or same) version of Mandrake, it won't automatically format the /home partition, which means any files that you have created, downloaded or otherwise stored there will still be intact. As to the size of the /home partition, that, of course, depends. If you're like my son, who has stores hundreds of mp3 files on it, then you probably want it to be quite large! How big is the hard drive you are planning to partition and what are you planning to use the system for (as that can influence how to size partitions).
