I think you should use 2 times the ammount of ram you have. Allthough you have 1 gig of ram and 2 gigs of swap may be WAY too much. Chime in on this one guys, im fuzzy. Is it 2x your ram PERIOD. or what... By the way, look into why making seperate partitions is better then just trying to use as few as possible. Bare minimum is /boot / and swap.. but making seperate ones for things such as /tmp /home and some others have some benifits..
