The FAQ addresses this pretty well. I'd also recommend a /home
partition. I also added a /home/ftp/pub for a file archive but that depends
on how many files you keep lying around.

Sure, it's been a long time since I did this (back years ago when I was
running SLS), but it is possible.
As I remember (read: get someone else's opinion to be sure:-) all I did
was to create the paritions, make file systems on them, copy the appropriate
subdirectory trees to the various partitions, edit the fstab on the new /
directory/partition, edit Lilo's config (make sure to be able to boot either
Linux setup in case one doesn't work) and run Lilo.
