Partitioning With Disk Druid

   Choose where you would like Red Hat Linux to be
   installed.

   If you don't know how to partition your system,
   please read the section on partitioning in the Red
   Hat Linux Installation Guide or the Red Hat Linux
   Reference Guide on the Documentation CD-ROM.

   The top screen shows your existing partitions.
   Each partition has five fields:

     * Mount Point: This field indicates where the
       partition will be mounted when Red Hat Linux
       is installed and running. If a partition
       exists, but is labeled as "not set" you need
       to define its mount point using the Edit
       button.
     * Device: This field displays the partition's
       device name (for example, hda2 represents the
       second partition on your primary hard drive).
     * Requested: The Requested field shows how much
       space the partition has. To re-define the
       size, delete the current partition and
       recreate it using the Add button.
     * Actual: This field shows how much space the
       partition is using.
     * Type: This field shows the partition's type
       (such as Linux Native or DOS).

   As you scroll through the Partitions section, you
   might see an Unallocated Requested Partition
   message, followed by one or more partitions. A
   common reason for having an unallocated partition
   is a lack of sufficient free space for the
   partition.

   To fix an unallocated requested partition, you
   must move the partition to another drive which has
   the available space, resize the partition to fit
   on the current drive, or delete the partition
   entirely. Make changes using the Edit button.

Partitioning Your System

   The center row of buttons controls the
   partitioning tool's actions. You can add, edit,
   and delete partitions here. In addition, there are
   buttons you can use to accept the changes you've
   made, or to reset and exit the partitioning tool.

     * Add: Use this button to request a new
       partition. When selected, a dialog box will
       appear containing fields that must be filled
       in (such as mount point, size and type).
     * Edit: Use this button to change the mount
       point of a currently selected partition.
     * Delete: Use this button to delete a partition.
       A dialog box will ask you to confirm the
       deletion.
     * Reset: Use this button to cancel any changes
       you may have made.
     * Make RAID Device: Use the Make RAID Device
       button ONLY if you have experience using RAID.
       To learn more about RAID, refer to the
       Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide online
       at www.redhat.com/support/manuals or on the
       Documentation CD.

Drive Summaries

   This section displays your computer's disk
   configuration. It is only meant to provide a
   summary. Each line has the following fields:

     * Drive: This field shows the hard drive's
       device name (such as hda or hdb).
     * Geom [C/H/S]: The hard drive's geometry shows
       the number of cylinders, heads and sectors.
     * Total: This field shows the total available
       space on the hard drive.
     * Free: Here you'll see how much of the hard
       drive's space is still available.
     * Used: These fields show how much of the hard
       disk's space is currently allocated to
       partitions, in megabytes and percentage.
