Under sysinstall you can set default values for each, then work your way
up from there.  Mainly I just use it for / and swap, then make my own
depending on the disk and function.  When setting up the disk, you can
enter 'a' for the defaults.  Delete everything but / and swap.  For your
setup, I'd assume this won't be a production machine, just a desktop.
So:

/ - default, should be around 50mb
swap - default
/tmp - 64mb
/var - 256mb
/mnt - can leave this out
/usr - the rest.  make this partition last

Good luck,

Nicolai
