if /usr, /home, /tmp and /var are separate, you can stop at 200-300 MB

iso images are usually read/written sequentially, so they don't require
much ram/swap
I might make /var a little smaller and /home a little bigger, but that
depends on database/mail/webspace
If this is meant to be a _real_ mailserver, put /var/spool on a separate
partition as well. For a personal/home server, this is probably not needed.

That should be easy. 270 MB is _huge_. You can get a basic install in
about 100 MB. Add a few for apache, put in some swap, and you still have
100MB webspace left
