There are at least 2 ways to go about this. You can have your big linux
partition be /, and your little one /boot. Or you can have the little
one as /, and, if you have a lot of users, big partiton(s) for /usr [and
/home]. If you choose the latter, you will probably be more comfortable
with 50 or 100mb for the little one: it's got your whole linux system
except for the big directories. The advantage of this is that if you
need to maintain the big one, or try to recover a file you've deleted by
mistake, you can just kick off all your users and umount /usr or /home
and have your way with them.
