Partitions

   Choose   where   you   would  like  CentOS  to  be
   installed.

   If  you  do not know how to partition your system,
   please  read  the  section  on partitioning in the
   CentOS Installation Guide.

   If you used automatic partitioning, you can either
   accept  the  current partition settings, or modify
   the setup.

   If  you just finished partitioning with fdisk, you
   must  define mount points for your partitions. Use
   the Edit button, once you have chosen a partition,
   to define its mount point.

   If  you  are  using  Disk  Druid, you will have to
   define   mount   points   for  one  or  more  disk
   partitions.  You  may  also  need to create and/or
   delete partitions at this time.

Partitioning Your System

   The   center   row   of   buttons   controls   the
   partitioning  tool's  actions.  You can add, edit,
   and delete partitions here. In addition, there are
   buttons you can use to accept the changes you have
   made, or to reset and exit the partitioning tool.

     * New:   Use   this  button  to  request  a  new
       partition.  When  selected,  a dialog box will
       appear  containing  fields that must be filled
       in  (such  as  mount  point,  filesystem type,
       drive  that  the  partition  should  exist on,
       size, and so on).
     * Edit:  Use  this  button  to  change the mount
       point  of  a currently selected partition. You
       can   also  manually  create  a  partition  by
       editing  free  space  (if  available). Editing
       free  space  in this sense is similar to using
       fdisk   in  that  you  can  choose  where  the
       partition  begins  and  ends  within that free
       space.
     * Delete: Use this button to delete a partition.
       A dialog box will appear asking you to confirm
       the deletion.
     * Make  RAID:  Use  the Make RAID button ONLY if
       you  have experience using RAID. To learn more
       about   RAID,   please  refer  to  the  CentOS
       Customization  Guide.  To  make a RAID device,
       you    must   first   create   software   RAID
       partitions.  Once you have created two or more
       software  RAID partitions, select Make RAID to
       join  the software RAID partitions into a RAID
       device.
     * Ok:  Use  this button to save your paritioning
       selections and continue the installation.
     * Reset:  Use  this button to cancel any changes
       you may have made.
