Can we create this partition equal to the Size of all file like GRUB,Kernel and Initrd ?

The /boot partition contains the GRUB configuration, the kernel with their System.map, 1GB should be enough.

Name   | Size

/boot  | 250MB ~ 1GB

swap   | at least size of RAM

/      | minimum 8 GB, at least 15 GB recommended
