  <!-- 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
    <literal>/</literal> (root) partition.</para>
  </note>

  <itemizedlist>
    <listitem>
      <para>Every partition is shown as follows: "Device" ("Capacity", "Mount
      point", "Type").</para>
    </listitem>

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

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

    <listitem>
      <para>For partitions you don't need to have access to, you can leave the
      mount point field blank.</para>
    </listitem>
  </itemizedlist>

  <warning>
    <para>Choose <guibutton>Previous</guibutton> if you are not sure what to
    choose, and then tick <guilabel>Custom disk partitioning</guilabel>. In
    the screen that follows, 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>
