<para xml:id="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-pa1">Listed here are the existing Linux
partitions detected on your hard drive. You can keep the choices
made by the wizard, since they are good for most common
installations. If you make any changes, you must at least define a
<indexterm xml:id="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-it1"><primary>root</primary>
<secondary>partition</secondary></indexterm><indexterm xml:id="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-it2"><primary>partitions</primary>
<secondary>root</secondary></indexterm>root partition (<literal revision="3">/</literal>). Do not choose too small a partition or you will not be able to install enough software. In most cases it is best to also create a <literal>/home</literal> partition, to store your data on (only possible if you
have more than one Linux partition available).</para>
<para xml:id="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-pa2">Each partition is listed
as follows: "Device", "Capacity", "Mount point","Type".</para>
<para xml:id="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-pa3">"Device", is structured: "hard drive type", "hard drive number", "partition number" (for example, "sda5"). </para>
<!-- This paragraph might not be true, I thought I was always able to do this at this point, but now in Mga2b2 my four Mga partitions aren't mounted yet, so impossible to see what is where with "df" - Marja, 20120317
<note><para xml:id="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-pa6">You can switch to tty 2 with ctrl+alt+F2 and type df to view the partitions if you're not sure installer's choice is correct and then switch back to the installer screen with ctrl+alt+F7</para></note> -->
<para xml:id="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-pa7">When the mount points are correct, or corrected, click <guibutton>Next</guibutton>. You'll then be given the choice to format one or more of the partitions you just chose to install Mageia on. Usually, formatting <literal>/</literal> and saving <literal>/home</literal> (if the same partition was your <literal>/home</literal> before), is a good choice.</para>
