[plug] S.U.S.E 10 - Install - Partitioning

I am currently preparing my main desktop machine so I can install S.U.S.E 
10 OSS.

The S.U.S.E. 10 installer tells me that my / partition does not have 
enough free space - dialog shows that it needs at least 800 Mb.

Is this right ?

I prefer to do my partitioning manually, rather than let the installer do 
it for me.

My current partitioning regime is as follows :

/		455 Mb	/dev/hda2
/boot	196 Mb	/dev/hda3
/usr	7,000 Mb	/dev/hda5
/var		1,000 Mb	/dev/hda6
/home	1,500 Mb	/dev/hda7
swap	1,000 Mb	/dev/hda8

The above regime has served me well for many of my past Linux installs, 
but it looks like it may time to make some changes.

My PC specs are :

P4 3.0Ghz (Prescott)
512 Mb RAM

ATI Radeon 9200 SE - 128Mb

1 x HDD @ 80 Gb
1 x HDD @ 30 Gb

1 x 17" CRT

Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Regards Arie
