A '/home' _directory_ will be created for you, and you should use it, just to
get out of the habit of always logging in as root. Since your email address at

The _partitions_ you 'need' are only those you specify to meet your particular
hard drive space situation; all needed _directories_ will be created for you,
under the mount points you assign to your linux native partitions.
