See:

You need to keep a MacOS partition to be able to boot. For a
4GB disk, just use 128MB for / and shrink /usr and /home
proportionately.
You really really don't want everything in one big root
partition...I don't care what anybody else says. If you end up
trashing your root partition (as I did once), you will only have
to wipe that one partition: the rest of your disk will be safe.
