+ <p><a name="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-pa1"></a>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
+ <a class="indexterm" name="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-it1"></a><a class="indexterm" name="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-it2"></a>root partition (<code class="literal">/</code>). 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 <code class="literal">/home</code> partition, to store your data on (only possible if you
+ have more than one Linux partition available).
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p><a name="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-pa2"></a>Each partition is listed

+
+
+ <p><a name="BId-drakxid-ask_mntpoint_s-pa3"></a>"Device", is structured: "hard drive type", "hard drive number", "partition number" (for example, "sda5").

+ <code class="literal">/</code> and saving <code class="literal">/home</code> (if the same partition was your <code class="literal">/home</code> before), is a good choice.
