minimum "/" partition size

[W. Scott Lockwood III]

Make / 4gb. 

Make /boot 64Mb. 

Make /tmp 2gb. 

Put everything else in either /home or /export (depending on what type of
system you're making).

This is because I suspect
this is a problem of and older bios that doesn't work unless the /
partition is 8gb or smaller. 

But what size to make the / partition? Too small and it won't hold
everything it needs to hold over time after kernel upgrades, etc.  Too
big and it wastes disk space. Also, with a separate "primary" /
partition, how should the rest of the disk be partitioned?
