+
+To create partitions, you must first select a hard drive. You can select the
+disk for partitioning by clicking on \"hda\" for the first IDE drive, \"hdb\"
+for the second, \"sda\" for the first SCSI drive and so on.
+
+To partition the selected hard drive, you can use these options:
+
+ * Clear all: this option deletes all partitions on the selected hard drive.
+
+ * Auto allocate: this option allows you to automatically create Ext2 and swap
+partitions in free space of your hard drive.
+
+ * Rescue partition table: if your partition table is damaged, you can try to
+recover it using this option. Please be careful and remember that it can fail.
+
+ * Undo: use this option to cancel your changes.
+
+ * Reload: you can use this option if you wish to undo all changes and load your
+initial partitions table.
+
+ * Wizard: use this option if you wish to use a wizard to partition your hard
+drive. This is recommended if you do not have a good knowledge of partitioning.
+
+ * Restore from floppy: this option will allow you to restore a previously saved
+partition table from floppy disk.
+
+ * Save to floppy: saves the partition table to a floppy. Useful for later
+partition-table recovery if necessary. It is strongly recommended to perform
+this step.
+
+ * Done: when you have finished partitioning your hard drive, this will save your
+changes back to disc.
+
+Note: you can reach any option using the keyboard. Navigate through the
+partitions using Tab and Up/Down arrows.
+
+When a partition is selected, you can use:
+
+ * (*)(*) to create a new partition (when an empty partition is selected);
+
+ * (*)(*) to delete a partition;
+
+ * (*)(*) to set the mount point.
+
+If you are installing on a PPC machine, you will want to create a small HFS
+\"bootstrap\" partition of at least 1MB which will be used by the yaboot boot
