partitions. For example: <code class="filename">sda</code> is a hard drive - and

followed by the<span class="emphasis"><em> (capacity, mount point, filesystem

<p>If you have several partitions, you can choose various different
<span class="emphasis"><em>mount points</em></span> from the drop down menu, such as
<code class="filename">/</code>, <code class="filename">/home</code> and
<code class="filename">/var</code>. You can even make your own mount points, for
instance <code class="filename">/video</code> for a partition where you want to
store your films, or perhaps <code class="filename">/Data</code> for all your
data files.

<p>For any partitions that you don't need to make use of, you can
leave the mount point field blank.
