Then it is very good idea to separate the system software, the mail
spool, and FTP area. Also, you probably want to have a separate
partition for user home directories even if the only user will be for
the ftp server (/home/ftp).
A good plan to make a root partition of 300-500MB (small enough to fit
under 1024 cylinders for booting); a user partition (/home) of however
space you think you will need (500MB-1GB); and the mail spool
(/var/spool/mail) for the rest of the drive.

If at first you don't succeed, you're doing about average.
