3.10 Disk Partitioning Setup
Partitioning allows you to divide your hard drive into isolated sections, where each section behaves
as its own hard drive. Partitioning is particularly useful if you run more than one operating system.
If you are not sure how you want your system to be partitioned, read Appendix F, An Introduction to
Disk Partitions for more information.
On this screen, you can choose to perform automatic partitioning, or manual partitioning using
Disk
Druid
or
fdisk
(see Figure 3–5, Disk Partitioning Setup).
Automatic partitioning allows you to perform an installation without having to partition your drive(s)
yourself. If you do not feel comfortable with partitioning your system, it is recommended that you do
not choose to partition manually and instead let the installation program partition for you.
To partition manually, choose either the
Disk Druid
or
fdisk
(recommended for experts only) parti-
tioning tool.
Figure 3–5
Disk Partitioning Setup
If you chose to manually partition using
Disk Druid
, refer to Section 3.12, Partitioning Your System.
If you chose to manually partition using
fdisk
, refer to Section 3.13, Partitioning with
fdisk
.
