My 5GB Disk is partitioned as follows:

mfluch@seneca:~> df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1             129M   69M   57M  54% /
/dev/hda3             364M  187M  170M  52% /var
/dev/hda6             893M  676M  218M  76% /usr
/dev/hda7             3.0G  1.5G  1.5G  50% /home

There is a 128MB swap and a 200MB vfat partition (the size of the later is
due I want still be able to hibernate with 160MB on board)

/tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp ... due to this usually only the file system
on /dev/hda3 gets a little bit injured after a system crash (usualy
caused, when I make experiments with the IBM tokenring card or IRDA). I
have already quite a lot of software on my /usr and still plenty of
room... I would suggest, make /usr a little bit bigger than I have it (for
example 1,5 GB) and give the rest to /home.

(BTW: /usr/src is a symlink to /home/src on my system)

Doesn't the system suspend/hibernate before the battery is exhausted?
