Choose the type of installation you would like to perform (see Figure 3-9). Red Hat Linux allows
you to choose the installation type that best fits your needs. Your options are Advanced Server and
Custom.
Figure 3-9. Choosing Install or Upgrade
For more information about the different installation classes, please refer to Section 1.4.
3.14. Disk Partitioning Setup
Partitioning allows you to divide your hard drive into isolated sections, where each section behaves
as its own hard drive. Partitioning is particularly useful if you run more than one operating system. If
you are not sure how you want your system to be partitioned, read Appendix C for more information.
On this screen, you can choose to perform automatic partitioning, or manual partitioning using Disk
Druid or parted (see Figure 3-10).
Automatic partitioning allows you to perform an installation without having to partition your drive(s)
yourself. If you do not feel comfortable with partitioning your system, it is recommended that you do
not choose to partition manually and instead let the installation program partition for you.
To partition manually, choose either the Disk Druid or parted (recommended for experts only) parti-
tioning tool.
