The more partitions, the faster they fill,
and the faster you have to mess with symlinking things
because it was not possible to know in advance what
size each little partition should have been before you
installed into it.
Just have 3 partitions, and save lots of time:
/
/home
swap
Let all the stock rpm's install into /.
Put everything else into a directory of /home.
You may have a reason for 4 partitons or more,
but if you are not sure, keep it simple...
