Sounds like the setup that I have now...

I have about 4 or 5 60 MB partitions that I keep files
an applications on under MacOS, and 2 30 MB boot partitions
(one is running 6.0.4, the other will run 7.0 when I get 
it).  The rest is set up for A/UX.  I have one standard
setup, and a large second partition that I am running news
on.  (the large partition is about 150 MB or so).  Usually I
have sufficient space (expect when news pukes).  I think if
I could get news to behave on a regular basis (read: If I stop
trying to "improve" my news setup), the system would be quite
comfortable.

Same here.

Silverlining will do it all if you let it.  If not, you 
can do it yourself.  (e.g. it has a command to set up the 
default A/UX paritions as they appear on an Apple HD80SC)
