+
+&debian; adheres to the 
+<ulink url="&url-fhs-home;">Filesystem Hierarchy Standard</ulink>
+for directory and file naming. This standard allows users and software
+programs to predict the location of files and directories. The root
+level directory is represented simply by the slash
+<filename>/</filename>. At the root level, all Debian systems include
+these directories:

+<para>
+
+The following is a list of important considerations regarding
+directories and partitions.
+
+</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 100 MB is needed for the root partition, but this may vary.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+<filename>/usr</filename>: all user programs
+(<filename>/usr/bin</filename>), libraries
+(<filename>/usr/lib</filename>), documentation
+(<filename>/usr/share/doc</filename>), etc., are in this
+directory. This part of the file system needs most of the space. You
+should provide at least 500 MB of disk space. If you want to install
+more packages you should increase the amount of space you give this
+directory.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+<filename>/home</filename>: every user will put his data into a
+subdirectory of this directory. The size of this 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.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+<filename>/var</filename>: all variable data like news articles,
+e-mails, web sites, the packaging system cache, etc. will be placed
+under this directory. The size of this directory depends greatly on
+the usage of your computer, 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 gigabytes 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 - 500
+megabytes in <filename>/var</filename>.  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 megabytes in <filename>/var</filename>.
+
+</para></listitem>
+<listitem><para>
+
+<filename>/tmp</filename>: if a program creates temporary data it will
+most likely go in <filename>/tmp</filename>. 20-50 MB should usually
+be enough.
