Prospects are good, Toby :-). It just takes a bit of grunt work.

If you end up going 'bog standard' (which is probably a very good idea on a
first install), then you will probably reach a point on your second or third
install where you'll have some real good ideas of how you want to set the
box up. That third install would probably be intended as the production
install.

Anyway, even if you go bog standard on your production install, here's
everything you need to move the growth (data) items onto a separate
disk/partition.

The paper contains instructions for moving:

Users Shared Folders (command line)
Sharepoint Databases (command line)
Monitoring Databases (command line)
Sent Faxes (wizard)

For moving Exchange logs and database (GUI), and Clientapps (regedit
required), there are no instructions - the KB articles are referenced.

It's all quite tedious, but I've been through the entire process and it
all works.
