Yeah, this is a newbie question. Really. Next time do not use the "a" option in the installer, just try to think logically and _strategically_. First add the "a" partiton, mark it "/" 512mb is more that enough. Second - b this is SWAP. You available RAM * 2 == SWAP. But is't not always true, just depends on the tasks the machine will be running. So, I use this formula not every time I install the OS, for example in my note the RAM is 2gb, but SWAP is 1gb. Well, it's a matter of philosophy and empirics you know... :) Third - "d" partition assign it to /usr; the size, coming again, depends on your tasks. It maybe 80% of the space left available, or more, or less... Fourth - "e" - /var - the rest of the space left after the /usr partition assigning...
