In the docs they were using 16 MB for /boot so I ran with that since I
never payed any attention to how much space it has taken in the past.
For /var, again I couldn't remember how much I usually use, so it was a
shot in the dark. I'm playing with in on a scratch machine, so I can
juggle them and install again. Normally I don't worry to much about it but
the box says a "server" installation takes 1620 MB, and I was doing an
custom install with "Everything" so I felt I needed to spread stuff out a
little.
