Partitioning

I noticed after installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4
(Nahant) last week when I do a fdisk -l that the automatic partitioning
might not have done such a good job of partitioning out my 200 GIG HD.

[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 200.0 GB, 200049647616 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 24321 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 24321 195254010 8e Linux LVM
[root@localhost ~]#

Shouldn't there normally be a few more partitions like /swap /usr etc?
If so is it possible to manipulate these post install? Or better to go
back and re-install and manually do the partitions? Either way I would
appreciate any advice on allocating the HD out. There will be no other
OS on this drive/machine, just RH.

Also I'm curious why my Hard drives are listed as sda1. These are ATA
drives. Just looked at the drive they are the new SATA drives and may
be recognized incorrectly.

Thanks
