Reinstalling -- How should I partition?

[Michael Hicks <hick0088@tc.umn.edu>]

Well, since my partition map has now reached a way too convoluted stage,
I thought I'd backup my home directory and anything else important, and
reinstall my system..  I was looking for a good layout of how to do
this..

Right now, /dev/hda is a 1.2 GB drive, and /dev/hdb is about 2 GB..  I
was thinking of putting /home and /usr/src into ~500 MB partitions on
hda, then possibly add a ~100 MB swap.  However, I don't really know how
I should set up hdb..  

Basically, I'd like to know how big some partitions should be..  I know
that / can be fairly small, if you put /usr on another partition.. 
Should /usr/local be a different partition?  /usr/games?

Any input would be appreciated..

Thanks
