I have already gone through it ..but there is no specification about the partition... specially how much should be allotted for swap/home/root etc

for this I need help .....

What exactly do you want to do with the system? Is it a desktop or a server?

its a desktop

In this case I'd make a big /home partition. About 10GB for /, swap should be double the size of your RAM, and the rest for /home.
