Partitioning with parted

This section applies only if you chose to use parted to partition your system.

To partition your system without using parted, please skip to the Section called Automatic Partitioning for automatic partitioning or the Section called Partitioning Your System for partitioning with Disk Druid.

If you have already completed disk partitioning, skip to the Section called Network Configuration for further installation instructions.

	Caution
	Unless you have previously used parted and understand how it works, we do not recommend that you use it. It is much easier for new users to accidentally corrupt or lose data using parted. Disk Druid is easier to understand than parted. To exit parted, click Back to return to the previous screen, deselect parted, and then click Next.

If you have chosen to use parted, the next screen will prompt you to select a drive to partition using parted. Once you have chosen which drive to partition, you will be presented with the parted command screen. If you do not know what command to use, type [help] at the prompt for help.

	/boot/efi is Type DOS
	You must create a /boot/efi partition of type DOS as the first primary partition with the size of at least 100 MB.

When you are finished making partitions, type [quit] to quit (parted automatically saves any changes you make).

	Note
	Changes you make will take effect immediately using parted. Once you have finished making changes, you can quit parted using the quit command.

After you have partitioned your drive(s), click Next. You will need to use Disk Druid to assign mount points to the partitions you just created with parted.

You will not be able to add new partitions using Disk Druid, but you can edit mount points for the partitions you have already created. For each partition created with parted, click on the Edit button, choose the appropriate mount point for that partition from the pull-down menu, and click on OK.
