Template: partman-target/help Type: note # :sl1: #flag:translate!:8 _Description: Help on partitioning Partitioning a hard drive consists of dividing it to create the space needed to install your new system. You need to choose which partition(s) will be used for the installation. . Select a free space to create partitions in it. . Select a device to remove all partitions in it and create a new empty partition table. . Select a partition to remove it or to specify how it should be used. At a bare minimum, you need one partition to contain the root of the file system (whose mount point is /). Most people also feel that a separate swap partition is a necessity. "Swap" is scratch space for an operating system, which allows the system to use disk storage as "virtual memory". . When the partition is already formatted you may choose to keep and use the existing data in the partition. Partitions that will be used in this way are marked with "${KEEP}" in the main partitioning menu. . In general you will want to format the partition with a newly created file system. NOTE: all data in the partition will be irreversibly deleted. If you decide to format a partition that is already formatted, it will be marked with "${DESTROY}" in the main partitioning menu. Otherwise it will be marked with "${FORMAT}". . ${ARCHITECTURE_HELP} Template: partman-target/arch_help/i386/generic Type: text # :sl1: _Description: In order to start your new system, a so called boot loader is used. It can be installed either in the master boot record of the first hard disk, or in a partition. When the boot loader is installed in a partition, you must set the bootable flag for it. Such a partition will be marked with "${BOOTABLE}" in the main partitioning menu.

UUIDs are long and difficult to read, so, if you prefer, the installer can mount filesystems based on the traditional device names, or based on a label you assign. However, note that traditional device names may change based on the order in which the kernel discovers devices at boot, which may cause the wrong filesystem to be mounted; similarly, labels are likely to clash if you plug in a new disk or a USB drive, and if that happens your system's behaviour when started will be random. . If you set "label" here, any filesystems without a label will be mounted using a UUID instead. . Devices with stable names, such as LVM logical volumes, will continue to use their traditional names rather than UUIDs.

The file system on ${PARTITION} assigned to ${MOUNTPOINT} has not been marked for formatting. Directories containing system files (/etc, /lib, /usr, /var, ...) that already exist under any defined mountpoint will be deleted during the install. . Please ensure that you have backed up any critical data before installing.
