manually.
If you chose automatic partitioning, skip ahead to Section 3.11, Network Configuration.
If you do not choose automatic partitioning, it is highly recommended that you choose to use Disk
Druid in the disk partitioning section.
If you prefer to use fdisk, there are some rules you must follow.
• The root partition must be the first partition on the first disk.
• If *NWSSTG IPL is to be used, the first disk must have a primary partition of type PReP Boot,
marked bootable (active). The PReP Boot partition should be 8 MB.
If you choose manual partitioning, you will see a screen allowing you to choose between two parti-
tioning tools, Disk Druid or fdisk (see Figure 3–7, Disk Partitioning).
If you do not want to lose some or all of your data, choose to partition manually or choose a different
installation class.
