My advice goes from yes to definately yes ;-) Partitions:
1st - OS 9.2 (3GB), if you want to boot into 9 directly Having it first allows you to boot directly by holding down the "d" key. No start-up manager or start-up disk hassles. 2nd - OS X (min 5GB) itself, by itself. If you ever need to reinstall or start over you'll appreciate this. 3rd - Any "scratch disk" requirements ala Photoshop? Amt varies depending on need. 4th - You *may* want to have a separate data partition. Apps crap out? Reinstall. Data craps out? Use your back-up - and a separate partition makes backing up a whole lot easier. There are good arguments for making a separate partition for the swap file, but not on a single-drive unit like a laptop. I've aslso seen folks advocate separate user, mail and fonts partitions. YMMV HTH!
