Deprecated - Choosing Mount Points
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 root
partitionpartitions
rootroot partition (/). 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 /home partition,
to store your data on (only possible if you have more than one Linux
partition available).
Each partition is listed as follows: "Device", "Capacity", "Mount
point","Type".
"Device", is structured: "hard drive type", "hard drive number", "partition
number" (for example, "sda5").
When the mount points are correct, or corrected, click
Next. You'll then be given the choice to format one
or more of the partitions you just chose to install Mageia on. Usually,
formatting / and saving /home (if the
same partition was your /home before), is a good choice.
