Swap 32--64 MB.
/ the rest of the disk.
If it's a serious installation (i.e. you're a linux user with a rather
old 504MB disk rather than a Windog user with a small linux installation
to play with), then I'd buy/beg another disk.
But I don't think people can specifiy partition sizes for you, as it
just depends on what you run, how much you keep and where, what sort
of removables you have etc. etc.
