Choosing Mount Points +

Choose the mount points

- - + - - - -

Listed here are the existing Linux - partitions detected on your hard drive. You can keep the choices - made by the wizard, since they are good for most common - installations. If you make any changes, you must at least define a - root partition (/). Do not choose too small a partition or you will not be able to install enough software. In most cases it is best to also - create a /home partition, to store your data on (only possible if you - have more than one Linux partition available). + +

Here you see the Linux partitions that have been found on your computer. If you don't agree with the suggestions of DrakX, you can change the mount points.

+ + +
+ + + + + + + + +

If you change anything, make sure you still have at least ONE / partition +

  • + + +

    Every partition is shown + as follows: "Device" ("Capacity", "Mount point", "Type"). +

    + + +
    • +
  • + + +

    "Device", is made up of: "hard drive", "hard drive number", "partition number" (for example, "sda5"). +

    + + +
    • +
  • + + +

    Each partition is listed + as follows: "Device", "Capacity", "Mount point", "Type". +

    + + +
    • +
  • + + +

    If you have many partitions, you can choose many different mount points from the drop down menu, such as /, /home and /var. You can even make your own mount points, for instance /video for a partition where you want to store your films, or /cauldron-home for the /home partition of a cauldron install. +

    + + + +
    • +
  • + + +

    For partitions you don't need to have access to, you can leave the mount point field blank. +

Choose Previous if you are not sure what to choose, and then tick Custom disk partitioning. In the screen that follows, you can click on a partition to see it's type and size. +

"Device", is structured: "hard drive type", "hard drive number", "partition number" (for example, "sda5"). -

When the mount points are correct, or corrected, click Next. You'll then be given the choice to format one or more of the partitions you just chose to install Mageia on. Usually, formatting - / and saving /home (if the same partition was your /home before), is a good choice. +

You are sure the mount points are correct? Now click on Next, and choose whether you only want to format the partition(s) DrakX suggests, or more.
