The default sizes
for some types of installations (discussed later in this chapter) are Personal Desktop
(2GB), Workstation (2.5GB), Server (1GB), and Everything (6GB).
These are size estimations, and you will need more room for any other applications you want as well
as for personal files, and so on.
7. Choose the second gray partition and leave it as the default (Mac OS Extended) for your
Mac OS X partition. You can name this as well if you like and adjust the size according to
your needs.
8. Click the Partition button and then quit the partition tool.
Resume your installation of Mac OS X as normal.
