Sure, you can keep the old (=working) version along with the new one.

As for the partition-size goes, I am currently using 10GB for my 
"everything on one partition" installations. No problems with space for

Since we have quite some new people on the list, I have collected some 
URL of partition-info we have on our website:

Have fun,
