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 multiple operating systems. On this screen, you can choose to perform automatic partitioning, or manual partitioning using Disk Druid.
3)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.
4)To partition manually, choose the Disk Druid partitioning tool.
Warning: The Red Hat Update Agent downloads updated packages to /var/spool/up2date/ by default. If you partition the system manually, and create a separate /var/ partition, be sure to create the partition large enough (3.0 GB or more) to download package updates.
