5gb doesn't give much play, so keep the partitions to a minimum.

/boot = 50mb
swap = 250mb
/ = rest

if you had more space, you'd benefit from a /home for all personal user data, and then maybe a /usr after that. Don't worry about them if you've only got that little space.

But what about when i select rmp (applications) such KDE,... Open office

i don,t know where these applications stores it all in /(root) partations only
when i select some applications it gives me not available disk space
so what minimum space need to install including minium applications selected in RedHat Linux9
