-existing operating system uses all the space available on it, you need to
-partition it. Basically, partitioning a hard drive consists of logically
-dividing it to create space to install your new Linux-Mandrake system.
-
-
-Because the effects of the partitioning process are usually irreversible,
-partitioning can be intimidating and stressful if you are an inexperienced user.
-This wizard simplifies this process. Before beginning, please consult the manual
-and take your time.
-
-
-You need at least two partitions. One is for the operating system itself and the
-other is for the virtual memory (also called Swap).
-
-
-If partitions have been already defined (from a previous installation or from
-another partitioning tool), you just need choose those to use to install your
-Linux system.
-
-
-If partitions haven't been already defined, you need to create them.
-To do that, use the wizard available above. Depending of your hard drive
-configuration, several solutions can be available:
-
- * Use existing partition: the wizard has detected one or more existing Linux partitions on your hard drive. If
- you want to keep them, choose this option.
-
-
- * Erase entire disk: if you want delete all data and all partitions present on your hard drive and replace them by
- your new Linux-Mandrake system, you can choose this option. Be careful with this solution, you will not be
- able to revert your choice after confirmation.
-
-
- * Use the free space on the Windows partition: if Microsoft Windows is installed on your hard drive and takes
- all space available on it, you have to create free space for Linux data. To do that you can delete your
- Microsoft Windows partition and data (see \"Erase entire disk\" or \"Expert mode\" solutions) or resize your
- Microsoft Windows partition. Resizing can be performed without loss of any data. This solution is
- recommended if you want use both Linux-Mandrake and Microsoft Windows on same computer.
-
-
- Before choosing this solution, please understand that the size of your Microsoft
- Windows partition will be smaller than at present time. It means that you will have less free space under
- Microsoft Windows to store your data or install new software.
-
-
- * Expert mode: if you want to partition manually your hard drive, you can choose this option. Be careful before
- choosing this solution. It is powerful but it is very dangerous. You can lose all your data very easily. So,

-
-
- - Init Message: A simple text message that is displayed before the boot
-prompt.
-
-
- - Boot Device: Indicate where you want to place the information required to
-boot to GNU/Linux. Generally, you will have setup a bootstrap partition earlier
-to hold this information.
-
-
- - Open Firmware Delay: Unlike LILO, there are two delays available with
-yaboot. The first delay is measured in seconds and at this point you can
-choose between CD, OF boot, MacOS, or Linux.
-
-
- - Kernel Boot Timeout: This timeout is similar to the LILO boot delay. After
-selecting Linux, you will have this delay in 0.1 seconds before your default
-kernel description is selected.
-
-
- - Enable CD Boot?: Checking this option will allow you to choose 'C' for CD at
-the first boot prompt.
-
-
- - Enable OF Boot?: Checking this option will allow you to choose 'N' for Open
-Firmware at the first boot prompt.

-Delay expires."),

-__("You can add additional entries for yaboot, either for other operating systems,
-alternate kernels, or for an emergency boot image.
-
-
-For other OS's - the entry consists only of a label and the root partition.
-
-
-For Linux, there are a few possible options:
-
-
- - Label: This is simply the name will type at the yaboot prompt to select this
-boot option.
-
-
- - Image: This would be the name of the kernel to boot. Typically vmlinux or
-a variation of vmlinux with an extension.
-
-
- - Root: The root device or '/' for your Linux installation.
-
-
-
- - Append: On Apple hardware, the kernel append option is used quite often to
-assist in initializing video hardware, or to enable keyboard mouse button emulation
-for the often lacking 2nd and 3rd mouse buttons on a stock Apple mouse. The following
-are some examples:
-
-
- video=aty128fb:vmode:17,cmode:32,mclk:71 adb_buttons=103,111 hda=autotune
-
- video=atyfb:vmode:12,cmode:24 adb_buttons=103,111
-
-
-
- - Initrd: This option can be used either to load initial modules, before the boot
-device is available, or to load a ramdisk image for an emergency boot situation.
-
-
- - Initrd-size: The default ramdisk size is generally 4096 bytes. If you should need
-to allocate a large ramdisk, this option can be used.
-
-
- - Read-write: Normally the 'root' partition is initially brought up read-only, to allow
-a filesystem check before the system becomes 'live'. You can override this option here.
-
-
- - NoVideo: Should the Apple video hardware prove to be exceptionally problematic, you can
-select this option to boot in 'novideo' mode, with native framebuffer support.
-
-
- - Default: Selects this entry as being the default Linux selection, selectable by just
-pressing ENTER at the yaboot prompt. This entry will also be highlighted with a '*', if you
-press TAB to see the boot selections."),
