If your hard drive is empty or if an existing operating system is using all the available space you will have to partition the drive. Basically, partitioning a hard drive means to logically divide it to create the space needed to install your new Mandrakelinux system. Because the process of partitioning a hard drive is usually irreversible and can lead to data losses, partitioning can be intimidating and stressful for the inexperienced user. Fortunately, DrakX includes a wizard which simplifies this process. Before continuing with this step, read through the rest of this section and above all, take your time. Depending on the configuration of your hard drive, several options are available: * \"%s\". This option will perform an automatic partitioning of your blank drive(s). If you use this option there will be no further prompts. * \"%s\". The wizard has detected one or more existing Linux partitions on your hard drive. If you want to use them, choose this option. You will then be asked to choose the mount points associated with each of the partitions. The legacy mount points are selected by default, and for the most part it's a good idea to keep them. * \"%s\". If Microsoft Windows is installed on your hard drive and takes all the space available on it, you will have to create free space for GNU/Linux. To do so, you can delete your Microsoft Windows partition and data (see ``Erase entire disk'' solution) or resize your Microsoft Windows FAT or NTFS partition. Resizing can be performed without the loss of any data, provided you've previously defragmented the Windows partition. Backing up your data is strongly recommended. Using this option is recommended if you want to use both Mandrakelinux and Microsoft Windows on the same computer. Before choosing this option, please understand that after this procedure, the size of your Microsoft Windows partition will be smaller than when you started. You'll have less free space under Microsoft Windows to store your data or to install new software. * \"%s\". If you want to delete all data and all partitions present on your hard drive and replace them with your new Mandrakelinux system, choose this option. Be careful, because you will not be able to undo this operation after you confirm. !! If you choose this option, all data on your disk will be deleted. !! * \"%s\". This option appears when the hard drive is entirely taken by Microsoft Windows. Choosing this option will simply erase everything on the drive and begin fresh, partitioning everything from scratch. !! If you choose this option, all data on your disk will be lost. !! * \"%s\". Choose this option if you want to manually partition your hard drive. Be careful -- it is a powerful but dangerous choice and you can very easily lose all your data.

Each of the printing systems is best suited to particular types of configuration. * \"%s\" -- which is an acronym for ``print, do not queue'', is the choice if you have a direct connection to your printer, you want to be able to panic out of printer jams, and you do not have networked printers. (\"%s\" will handle only very simple network cases and is somewhat slow when used within networks.) It's recommended that you use \"pdq\" if this is your first experience with GNU/Linux. * \"%s\" stands for `` Common Unix Printing System'' and is an excellent choice for printing to your local printer or to one halfway around the planet. It's simple to configure and can act as a server or a client for the ancient \"lpd\" printing system, so it's compatible with older operating systems which may still need print services. While quite powerful, the basic setup is almost as easy as \"pdq\". If you need to emulate a \"lpd\" server, make sure you turn on the \"cups-lpd\" daemon. \"%s\" includes graphical front-ends for printing or choosing printer options and for managing the printer. If you make a choice now, and later find that you do not like your printing system you may change it by running PrinterDrake from the Mandrakelinux Control Center and clicking on the \"%s\" button.", N("pdq"), N("pdq"), N("CUPS"), N("CUPS"), N("Expert")); } sub setupSCSI() { N("DrakX will first detect any IDE devices present in your computer. It will also scan for one or more PCI SCSI cards on your system. If a SCSI card is found, DrakX will automatically install the appropriate driver. Because hardware detection is not foolproof, DrakX may fail in detecting your hard drives. If so, you'll have to specify your hardware by hand. If you had to manually specify your PCI SCSI adapter, DrakX will ask if you want to configure options for it. You should allow DrakX to probe the hardware for the card-specific options which are needed to initialize the adapter. Most of the time, DrakX will get through this step without any issues. If DrakX is not able to probe for the options to automatically determine which parameters need to be passed to the hardware, you'll need to manually configure the driver."); } sub sound_config() { N("\"%s\": if a sound card is detected on your system, it'll be displayed here. If you notice the sound card is not the one actually present on your system, you can click on the button and choose a different driver.", N("Sound card")); } sub summary() { N("As a review, DrakX will present a summary of information it has gathered about your system. Depending on the hardware installed on your machine, you may have some or all of the following entries. Each entry is made up of the hardware item to be configured, followed by a quick summary of the current configuration. Click on the corresponding \"%s\" button to make the change. * \"%s\": check the current keyboard map configuration and change it if necessary. * \"%s\": check the current country selection. If you're not in this country, click on the \"%s\" button and choose another. If your country is not in the list shown, click on the \"%s\" button to get the complete country list. * \"%s\": by default, DrakX deduces your time zone based on the country you have chosen. You can click on the \"%s\" button here if this is not correct. * \"%s\": verify the current mouse configuration and click on the button to change it if necessary. * \"%s\": clicking on the \"%s\" button will open the printer configuration wizard. Consult the corresponding chapter of the ``Starter Guide'' for more information on how to set up a new printer. The interface presented in our manual is similar to the one used during installation. * \"%s\": if a sound card is detected on your system, it'll be displayed here. If you notice the sound card is not the one actually present on your system, you can click on the button and choose a different driver. * \"%s\": if you have a TV card, this is where information about its configuration will be displayed. If you have a TV card and it is not detected, click on \"%s\" to try to configure it manually. * \"%s\": you can click on \"%s\" to change the parameters associated with the card if you feel the configuration is wrong. * \"%s\": by default, DrakX configures your graphical interface in \"800x600\" or \"1024x768\" resolution. If that does not suit you, click on \"%s\" to reconfigure your graphical interface. * \"%s\": if you wish to configure your Internet or local network access, you can do so now. Refer to the printed documentation or use the Mandrakelinux Control Center after the installation has finished to benefit from full in-line help. * \"%s\": allows to configure HTTP and FTP proxy addresses if the machine you're installing on is to be located behind a proxy server. * \"%s\": this entry allows you to redefine the security level as set in a previous step (). * \"%s\": if you plan to connect your machine to the Internet, it's a good idea to protect yourself from intrusions by setting up a firewall. Consult the corresponding section of the ``Starter Guide'' for details about firewall settings. * \"%s\": if you wish to change your bootloader configuration, click this
