If your hard drive is empty or if an existing operating system is using all the available space you will have to partition the drive. Basically, partitioning a hard drive consists of logically dividing it to create the space needed to install your new Mandrake Linux system. Because the process of partitioning a hard drive is usually irreversible and can lead to lost data if there is an existing operating system already installed on the drive, partitioning can be intimidating and stressful if you are an inexperienced user. Fortunately, DrakX includes a wizard which simplifies this process. Before continuing with this step, read through the rest of this section and above all, take your time. Depending on your hard drive configuration, several options are available: * \"Use free space\": this option will perform an automatic partitioning of your blank drive(s). If you use this option there will be no further prompts. * \"Use existing partition\": the wizard has detected one or more existing Linux partitions on your hard drive. If you want to use them, choose this option. You will then be asked to choose the mount points associated with each of the partitions. The legacy mount points are selected by default, and for the most part it's a good idea to keep them. * \"Use the free space on the Windows partition\": if Microsoft Windows is installed on your hard drive and takes all the space available on it, you have to create free space for Linux data. To do so, you can delete your Microsoft Windows partition and data (see `` Erase entire disk'' solution) or resize your Microsoft Windows FAT partition. Resizing can be performed without the loss of any data, provided you previously defragment the Windows partition and that it uses the FAT format. Backing up your data is strongly recommended.. Using this option is recommended if you want to use both Mandrake Linux and Microsoft Windows on the same computer. Before choosing this option, please understand that after this procedure, the size of your Microsoft Windows partition will be smaller then when you started. You will have less free space under Microsoft Windows to store your data or to install new software. * \"Erase entire disk\": if you want to delete all data and all partitions present on your hard drive and replace them with your new Mandrake Linux system, choose this option. Be careful, because you will not be able to undo your choice after you confirm. !! If you choose this option, all data on your disk will be deleted. !! * \"Remove Windows\": this will simply erase everything on the drive and begin fresh, partitioning everything from scratch.

The floppy disk must be blank or have non-critical data on it - DrakX will format the floppy and will rewrite the whole disk."), setupDefaultSpooler => N_("Now, it's time to select a printing system for your computer. Other OSs may offer you one, but Mandrake Linux offers two. Each of the printing systems is best for a particular type of configuration. * \"pdq\" -- which is an acronym for ``print, don't queue'', is the choice if you have a direct connection to your printer, you want to be able to panic out of printer jams, and you do not have networked printers. (\"pdq \" will handle only very simple network cases and is somewhat slow when used with networks.) It's recommended that you use \"pdq \" if this is your first experience with GNU/Linux. * \"CUPS\" - `` Common Unix Printing System'', is an excellent choice for printing to your local printer or to one halfway around the planet. It is simple to configure and can act as a server or a client for the ancient \"lpd \" printing system, so it compatible with older operating systems that may still need print services. While quite powerful, the basic setup is almost as easy as \"pdq\". If you need to emulate a \"lpd\" server, make sure to turn on the \"cups-lpd \" daemon. \"CUPS\" includes graphical front-ends for printing or choosing printer options and for managing the printer. If you make a choice now, and later find that you don't like your printing system you may change it by running PrinterDrake from the Mandrake Control Center and clicking the expert button."), setupSCSI => N_("DrakX will first detect any IDE devices present in your computer. It will also scan for one or more PCI SCSI cards on your system. If a SCSI card is found, DrakX will automatically install the appropriate driver. Because hardware detection is not foolproof, DrakX will ask you if you have a PCI SCSI installed. Clicking \" Yes\" will display a list of SCSI cards to choose from. Click \"No\" if you know that you have no SCSI hardware in your machine. If you're not sure, you can check the list of hardware detected in your machine by selecting \"See hardware info \" and clicking the \"Next ->\". Examine the list of hardware and then click on the \"Next ->\" button to return to the SCSI interface question. If you had to manually specify your PCI SCSI adapter, DrakX will ask if you want to configure options for it. You should allow DrakX to probe the hardware for the card-specific options which are needed to initialize the adapter. Most of the time, DrakX will get through this step without any issues. If DrakX is not able to probe for the options to automatically determine which parameters need to be passed to the hardware, you'll need to manually configure the driver."), setupYabootAddEntry => N_("You can add additional entries in yaboot for other operating systems, alternate kernels, or for an emergency boot image. For other OSs, the entry consists only of a label and the \"root\" partition. For Linux, there are a few possible options: * Label: this is the name you will have to 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 often used to assist in initializing video hardware, or to enable keyboard mouse button emulation for the missing 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 Kbytes. If you need to allocate a large ramdisk, this option can be used to specify a ramdisk larger than the default. * Read-write: normally the \"root\" partition is initially mounted as read-only, to allow a file system check before the system becomes ``live''. You can override the default with this option. * NoVideo: should the Apple video hardware prove to be exceptionally problematic, you can select this option to boot in ``novideo'' mode, with native frame buffer support. * Default: selects this entry as being the default Linux selection, selectable by pressing ENTER at the yaboot prompt. This entry will also be highlighted with a ``*'' if you press [Tab] to see the boot selections."), setupYabootGeneral => N_("Yaboot is a bootloader for NewWorld Macintosh hardware and can be used to boot GNU/Linux, MacOS or MacOSX. Normally, MacOS and MacOSX are correctly detected and installed in the bootloader menu. If this is not the case, you can add an entry by hand in this screen. Be careful to choose the correct parameters. Yaboot's main options are: * Init Message: a simple text message displayed before the boot prompt. * Boot Device: indicates where you want to place the information required to boot to GNU/Linux. Generally, you set up 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 second before your default kernel description is selected; * Enable CD Boot?: checking this option allows you to choose ``C'' for CD at the first boot prompt. * Enable OF Boot?: checking this option allows you to choose ``N'' for Open Firmware at the first boot prompt. * Default OS: you can select which OS will boot by default when the Open Firmware Delay expires."), sound_config => N_("\"Sound card\": if a sound card is detected on your system, it is displayed here.
