I would recommend you setup LVM during the install process.  With LVM,
you won't have to worry about figuring out what size the partitions
should be.  If you happen to make one too big and could use the space
somewhere else, you'll be able to move the partitions around on a
RUNNING SYSTEM.

LVM will definitely give you the most flexibility, which is what you're
going to need on such a small HD.
