I'll be installing FBSD 5.3 on an 80GB hard drive (machine has 512MB of
RAM) and was considering the following partitions:

/
/usr
/usr/local
/var
/var/tmp
/tmp
/home
SWAP

I'm looking for some recommendations around what the partition sizes
should be assuming I'm allocating the entire disk to FreeBSD.  It will
be a used as a desktop and not a server, but I'd be curious about the
sizing differences as I'll be setting up a similar machine as a
mail/FTP/web server.

Thanks.
