Do du commands on your various filesystems to see how much you're using on each. Put /var and /home on one slice and everything else on the other. Add up what you're using for everything else, add a percentage for growth, and make the everything else slice that big. Make a swap partition (I use 100 Mb, YMMV), Use the rest for /var, /home, and /tmp. HTH.
