+The following is a list of important considerations regarding
+directories and partitions. Note that disk usage varies widely given
+system configuration and specific usage patterns. The recommendations
+here are general guidelines and provide a starting point for
+partitioning.
+
+</para>
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para>
+
+The root partition <filename>/</filename> must always physically
+contain <filename>/etc</filename>, <filename>/bin</filename>,
+<filename>/sbin</filename>, <filename>/lib</filename> and
+<filename>/dev</filename>, otherwise you won't be able to boot.
+Typically 150&ndash;250 MB is needed for the root partition.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+<filename>/usr</filename>: contains all user programs
+(<filename>/usr/bin</filename>), libraries
+(<filename>/usr/lib</filename>), documentation
+(<filename>/usr/share/doc</filename>), etc.
+This is the part of the file system that generally takes up most space.
+You should provide at least 500 MB of disk space. This amount should
+be increased depending on the number and type of packages you plan
+to install. A generous workstation or server installation should allow
+4-6 GB.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+<filename>/var</filename>: variable data like news articles, e-mails,
+web sites, databases, the packaging system cache, etc. will be placed
+under this directory. The size of this directory depends greatly on
+the usage of your system, but for most people will be dictated by
+the package management tool's overhead.  If you are going to do a full
+installation of just about everything Debian has to offer, all in one
+session, setting aside 2 or 3 gigabyte of space for
+<filename>/var</filename> should be sufficient. If you are going to
+install in pieces (that is to say, install services and utilities,
+followed by text stuff, then X, ...), you can get away with 300&ndash;500
+MB. If hard drive space is at a premium and you don't plan on doing
+major system updates, you can get by with as little as 30 or 40 MB.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+<filename>/tmp</filename>: temporary data created by programs will
+most likely go in this directory. 40&ndash;100 MB should usually
+be enough. Some applications &mdash; including archive manipulators,
+CD/DVD authoring tools, and multimedia software &mdash; may use
+<filename>/tmp</filename> to temporarily store image files. If you
+plan to use such applications, you should adjust the space available
+in <filename>/tmp</filename> accordingly.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+<filename>/home</filename>: every user will put his personal data
+into a subdirectory of this directory. Its size depends on how many
+users will be using the system and what files are to be stored in
+their directories.  Depending on your planned usage you should reserve
+about 100 MB for each user, but adapt this value to your needs. Reserve
+a lot more space if you plan to save a lot of multimedia files (MP3, movies)
+in your home directory.
