This is a really silly but quite important question, how do u determin how you partition your harddrive?
Some advice on this is available at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-partitioning.en.html, but don't take it _too_ seriously: your own preferences will play a large role.
A trick that I used, when I recently replaced my hard drive, was to allocate space to each parition in the same proportions as the used (i.e. full) space in the equivalent paritions on the old hard drive.
