  <!-- 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 -->

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

  <note>
    <para>If you change anything, make sure you still have a <emphasis role="bold"><literal>/</literal></emphasis> (root) partition.</para>
  </note>

  <itemizedlist>
    <listitem>
      <para>Every partition is shown to the left as: <emphasis role="bold">Device (capacity, mount point, type).</emphasis></para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para><emphasis role="bold">Device</emphasis>, is made up of: <emphasis role="bold">hard drive</emphasis>, [<emphasis role="bold">hard drive
      name</emphasis> (letter)], <emphasis role="bold">partition
      number</emphasis> (for example, <emphasis role="bold">sda5</emphasis>).</para>
    </listitem>

    <listitem>
      <para>If you have several partitions, you can choose various different
      mount points from the drop down menu, such as <emphasis role="bold">/</emphasis>, <emphasis role="bold"><literal>/home</literal></emphasis> and <emphasis role="bold">/var</emphasis>. You can even make your own mount points,
      for instance <emphasis role="bold"><literal>/video</literal></emphasis>
      for a partition where you want to store your films, or <emphasis role="bold">/Data</emphasis> (or some other name) for your data.</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 are not sure what to choose, click <emphasis role="bold">Previous</emphasis> to go back and then tick <guilabel>Custom
    disk partitioning</guilabel>, where, you can click on a partition to see
    its type and size.</para>
  </warning>

  <para>If you are sure the mount points are correct, click on
  <guibutton>Next</guibutton>, and choose whether you only want to format the
  partition(s) DrakX suggests, or more.</para>
