The best partition scheme if you are short on space is
1) a swap partition (depends a bit on your main memory, since you're
short on disk, I'd say 32-64 MB)
2) a '/' partition
That's it. This offers you the most flexibility to divide your disk
between data and programs. Personally I only start thinking about more
partions if I have considerably more than 2 GB.
