notes correcting an accidental Deletion

If you accidentally mark a partition for deletion, or make some other mistake, you can set
everything back to its original state by clicking the Reset button. The changes you make to the
partitions won’t actually take effect until later in the installation procedure.
Click the New button to open the Add Partition dialog shown in Figure 1.7.

figure 1.7: adding a partition

From here, you can designate the mount point, the filesystem type, and the partition’s size in
megabytes. The window also offers further size options, including the ability to create a partition
with all remaining space on the drive.

Selecting the Mount Point drop-down will display all common partition labels (mount points)
available for your server, as shown in Figure 1.8, “Selecting a mount point.”; alternatively, you
can enter the mount point label manually. Bear in mind that these are the most common mount
points, and are familiar to all Linux system administrators.
!

Caution Creating a custom mount point might confuse other administrators of your
server.
