I need advice on how to setup the partitions on a new hard disk (330MB SCSI).

I am running ISC Unix 2.02.  I would like 30 Meg for a DOS partition and the
rest for Unix.  I have plans to get a news feed and would like X11 also.

Should I have a separate partition for news?  Are there any performance issues
at work here?  ISC fdisk recommends 100 meg for /usr ; 100 meg for /usr2 ; and
the rest for /root and swap space.  Thanks...
