This section applies only if you chose to use
fdisk to partition your system. If are not
using fdisk, please skip to the section called Automatic Partitioning for automatic partitioning or the section called Partitioning Your System for partitioning with
Disk Druid.
 | Caution |
|---|
| | Unless you have previously used
fdisk and understand how it works, we do
not recommend that you use it.
Disk Druid is easier to understand than
fdisk. To exit
fdisk, click Back to
return to the previous screen, deselect
fdisk, and then click
Next.
|
If you have chosen to use fdisk, the next
screen will prompt you to select a drive to partition using
fdisk.
Once you have chosen which drive to partition, you will be presented
with the fdisk command screen. If you do not
know what command to use, type [m] at the prompt for
help.
When you are finished making partitions, type [w] to save
your changes and quit. You will be taken back to the original
fdisk screen where you can choose to
partition another drive or continue with your installation.
After you have partitioned your drive(s), click
Next. Then you will need to use Disk
Druid to assign mount points to the partitions you just
created with fdisk.
You will not be able to add new partitions using Disk
Druid, but you will be able to edit mount points for the
partitions you have already created.
For each partition you created with fdisk,
click on the Edit button, choose the appropriate
mount point for that partition from the pulldown menu, and click on
OK.
Skip to the section called Formatting Partitions for further
installation instructions.
