[PLUG] Partition analysis

[Richard C. Steffens]

My "new" machine has a nominally 60GB hard drive. Before I installed 
SuSE 10.1 I ran fdisk and deleted all the partitions on it. Then I 
accepted the defaults during the installation. Here's what I have now:

Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60022480896 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7297 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1               1         199     1598436   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda2   *         200        2810    20972857+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3            2811        7297    36041827+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5            2811        4605    14418306   83  Linux
/dev/hda6            4606        7297    21623458+  83  Linux

I'm not sure why hda2 is as big as it is. I assume there needs to be 
enough room to put stuff for grub, the kernel, and any additional 
kernels I might some day want to create. But, 20GB?

So, before I go messing up the partition table, what's a reasonable size 
for the boot partition?
