3.9.2 Partitioning
In most cases, YaST proposes a reasonable partitioning scheme that can be accepted
without change. YaST can also be used to customize the partitioning, but only experi-
enced users should change partitioning.
When you select the partitioning item in the suggestion window for the first time, the
YaST partitioning dialog displays the proposed partition settings. To accept these set-
tings, click Accept Proposal.
To make small changes in the proposal, select Base Partition Setup on This Proposal
and adjust partitioning in the next dialog. For completely different partitioning, select
Create Custom Partition Setup. In the next dialog, choose the disk to partition or Custom
Partitioning. The YaST partitioner provides tools for LVM and EVMS creation. To
create an LVM proposal, select Create LVM Based Proposal. To create an EVMS
proposal, select Create EVMS Based Proposal. For more information about custom
partitioning, refer to Section 8.5.7, "Using the YaST Partitioner" (page 149).

your own partitioning scheme, consider the following recommendations concerning
the requirements for different system types.
