I can't remember where I read it, but suspect it was on one of the "roll
your own Linux" sites; but I seem to recall that you need a minimum of
8GB for root as most of the files are archive, and need to expand when
the system is run.
I was also under the impression that temp shopuld be a minimum of twice
the amount of ram, though there is a lot of debate about that point.

FYI, this is my partitioning scheme.

/ 25GB
/Home  (as large as I can afford)
/temp (twice ram size)
/swap 512MB

Has never given me a problem, other than flaky hardware issues.
