I can't remember if its in RHL 8.0 or not, but I can heartily 
recommend using LVM when partitioning the system. Getting initial
partition sizes correct is pretty tricky unless you've built alot
of servers for a given application in the past. With LVM you don't
have to worry, since you setup sizes on the lower side & then 
allocate extra space later - possibly spanning a single partition
across several disks. As a very loose starting point if using LVM
I'd go for

  5 GB /
  10 GB /opt
  10 GB /var
  1 GB /tmp
  10 GB /usr

Leaving the reamining 30 odd GB of disk space free to assign to 
various areas when required

For a desktop system, I wouldn't bother partitioning without LVM, 
except perhaps a dedicated /home so that you can upgrade your
distribution without loosing user data.
