Sure. You should have one partition for files, and another for swapping.
Of course, you can distribute your file system between several partitions-
I have /home on a separate partition so that when I format / to install
Mandrake 6.1, I won't lose all my personal files.
On a side note, would it be possible to selectively install 6.1 RPMs on my
6.0 system? So that I don't have to re-format / anyway?

Probably for the same reason DOS can only use 640kB RAM. I can
hear it now... "Nobody will ever have a drive larger than 2GB!"
