I believe the value of X changes. But I also always start with / first and make it fairly small. I generally try to put /var /opt and /home off on another partition, but assorted distros change where they expect to put stuff, and I change distros occasionally, so I only get it right in spirit I have no idea when X changes, probably with some kernel stuff, or lilo or grub. Details normal linux users don't bother with.
