<!-- Made by marja on 2012 03 28 -->
<!-- NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED! -->
<!-- SimonNZG 2012-04-03 has taken a look but needs to come back -->
<!-- removed para xml:id's, marja, 20120409 -->
<!-- barjac 14/04/2012 Minor edit to improve grammar and replaced "at least ONE"
with "a", as I can't imagine having more than one root partition ;) -->
<!-- Lebarhon : I put [] where it seems having mistakes -->
<!-- Marja: you're right, in English English it is "its type", however, the Americans
write "it's type". And you're right about the redundant part, too, I removed it-->
<!-- And JohnR says the Americans are WRONG! :-)) -->
<!-- 2012-04-19 Language proofreading done -->
<!--2018/02/12 apb: Text and typography.-->
<!--2019/01/04 apb: Typo & minor reword on custom mount-points.-->

<para>Here you see the Linux partitions that have been found on your
computer. If you don't agree with the DrakX suggestions, you can change the
mount points yourself.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>To the left of the drop-down menus is a list of available
partitions. For example: <filename>sda</filename> is a hard drive - and
<filename>5</filename> is a <emphasis>partition number</emphasis>,
followed by the<emphasis> (capacity, mount point, filesystem
type)</emphasis> of the partition.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you have several partitions, you can choose various different
<emphasis>mount points</emphasis> from the drop down menu, such as
<filename>/</filename>, <filename>/home</filename> and
<filename>/var</filename>. You can even make your own mount points, for
instance <filename>/video</filename> for a partition where you want to
store your films, or perhaps <filename>/Data</filename> for all your
data files.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>For any partitions that you don't need to make use of, you can
leave the mount point field blank.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<warning>
<para>If you make any changes here, ensure you still have a
<filename>/</filename> (root) partition.</para>
</warning>
<tip>
<para>If you are not sure what to choose, click
<emphasis>Previous</emphasis> to go back and then tick <emphasis>Custom
disk partitioning</emphasis>, where you can click on a partition to see
its type and size.</para>
</tip>
<para>If you are sure the mount points are correct, click on
<emphasis>Next</emphasis>, and choose whether you only want to format the
partition suggested by DrakX, or more.</para>
