I don't fully understand your question.  You can install the whole
system onto one partition, no problem, and that's fine for desktop
systems/small personal servers.  Disk partitioning only really starts to
matter when you get into machines with lots of users/that are important.

So, if you want to just dump everything into one partition big enough to
hold your install + data, that is fine.  If you want to practice being a
sysadmin, and want to partition your disk into a bunch of tiny pieces,
that's okay too.

What results are you trying to achieve?
