I manually set-up a partition during my installation of Ubuntu 9.10. I only created a swap partition about 512mb and a root partition of 10gb and no partition for /home but I have a partition for all my data files. What I really want is a separate partition for programs and data.Is this partitioning ok? By default in which directory packages are installed and how much disc space is consumed during the installation (no updates yet)?

Jump to PostWhat do you mean you have "no partition for /home but I have a partition for all my data files"? /home is where your data files go. It's the only place your personal data files go.
swap: Looks fine. If you have plenty of ram you'll never use it.
