Section 3.11:Partitioning with fdisk 41
CAUTION
Unless you have previously used fdisk and understand how it works, we do
not recommend that you use it.
Disk Druid is easier to understand than fdisk. To exit fdisk, click
Back to
return to the previous screen, deselect fdisk, and then click
Next.
If you have chosen to use fdisk, the next screen will prompt you to select a drive to partition using
fdisk. Once you have chosen which drive to partition, you will be presented with the fdisk command
screen. If you do not know what command to use, type
[m] at the prompt for help.
WARNING
You must create a /boot/efi partition of type DOS as the first pri-
mary partition with the size of at least 100 MB.
When you are finished making partitions, type [w] to save your changes and quit. You will be taken
back to the original fdisk screen where you can choose to partition another drive or continue with your
installation.
Note
None of the changes you make take effect until you save them and exit fdisk
using the w command. You can quit fdisk at any time without saving changes
using the q command.
After you have partitioned your drive(s), click Next. You will need to use Disk Druid to assign mount
points to the partitions you just created with fdisk.
You will not be able to add new partitions using Disk Druid, but you will be able to edit mount points
for the partitions you have already created. For each partition created with fdisk, click on the
Edit
button, choose the appropriate mount point for that partition from the pulldown menu, and click on
OK.
