C.3.5. Other Partitioning Problems for x86 System Users
If you are using Disk Druid to create partitions, but cannot move to the next screen, you probably
have not created all the partitions necessary for Disk Druid's dependencies to be satisfied.
You must have the following partitions as a bare minimum:
A (root) partition
•
/
A swap partition of type swap
•
 
Tip
When defining a partition's type as swap, do not assign it a mount point. Disk Druid automatically
assigns the mount point for you.
