Now that you've opened disk druid, we'll take a look at how you can configure
different partitions. For the purpose of this tutorial we assume you understand
and have completed the previous steps in the installation process, which means
you have a disk druid screen with all free space. In this video we'll create a
dedicated partition for the boot directory and a second partition for the home
directory of the sizes shown. We'll also create a swap partition, typically
that's twice the RAM in your system. In this case we'll create a swap partition
of 512 megabytes. To do all this we go in and select new, remember you can use
the tab key to change between options, press the spacebar to click new and we're
creating a partition for the boot directory. The mount point is slash boot, we
accept the default extended three file system, though there are others available.
If you have more than one drive available you'll want to put the boot directory on
the first drive because BIOS's sometimes have trouble finding the boot directory
on other drives. A hundred megabytes is almost always big enough for the boot
directory. On very old systems you'd want to force the boot directory to be on a
primary partition, click OK and we have our first partition. Now we want to
create a second partition, in this case for the home directory. Accept the
default extended three file system type, we wanted it to be a gigabyte in size
or a thousand megabytes, select ok. We have our second partition. We repeat the
process, swap partitions don't have a mount point but they're of a different
file system as you can see when I select the swap file system type a mount point
is not applicable. We want a swap partition of 512 megabytes, click OK and there
it is. Finally, we can't forget the rest of the files system so we'll want to
create a partition for the top level root directory and leave some space
available for following videos. So let's create a top level root directory on a
partition of 6000 megabytes. The mount point is the top level root directory. We
accept the default extended three file system and give it a size of 6000
megabytes, click OK and there it is. Thank you and on to the next video.
