This is good. You should put the following directories on this partition:
bin, boot, dev, etc, lib, root, sbin
You'll also have empty directories for the various mountpoints (cdrom,
floppy, home, initrd, mnt, proc, usr, var, and perhaps tmp)

This won't work, since you can't mount parts of a partition on different
directories. Instead, you'll want to create one parition to be mounted on
/usr, one for /var, and one for /home. You may also want to have one for
/tmp, although i just make /var a little larger and symlink /tmp to
/var/tmp (if you do this, create a /tmp directory under the /var
mountpoint on /dev/hdc1). And, of course, you can have even more
partitions if you really want (to keep /usr/local separate from /usr, for
example)
My disk is set up something like this. Maybe not the best, but it could be
worse. i also have a few MB slack, in case i ever discover a pressing need
for an extra data partition. I've edited the Size column below to show the
true partition sizes as reported by cfdisk, instead of that given by df
(which ignores the 5% reserved for root).
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 82M 21M 51M 29% /
/dev/hda5 452M 199M 197M 50% /home
/dev/hda6 452M 79M 317M 20% /var
/dev/hda7 131M -- -- -- swap
/dev/hda8 1398M 1.1G 126M 90% /usr
/dev/hda9 1102M 664M 318M 68% /usr/local
/var i keep bigger than most people will recommend for a normal home use
in order to accomodate large apt-get downloads and /tmp->/var/tmp.
