With such a small disk, I'd suggest making it only a single partition: if you make a separate /var, you'll probably run into problems. And, yes, install the bare minimum during initial installation. After a successful installation, you can probably still remove more unused packages. Do that before installing any additional ones you want. Dave. -- Please don't CC me on list messages! ...
