Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution Part III
Custom??”Provides the most flexibility because you can configure the partitions and
software packages you want (everything!). This is your choice if you want to have
more control over the installation. If you want to experience a large set of applications,
you can choose this instead of installing applications one by one. You can also choose
a more specific set of packages if this is to be a server used for external services, providing
a higher level of security.
For this chapter, the Custom installation type is used.
8. Decide how you want to partition your hard drive. You have two choices:
Option 1: Automatically partition??”If you choose this method, click Next and you
are presented with three options:
Remove all Linux partitions on this system??”Deletes all previous Linux partitions
and replaces only previously identified Linux partitions.
Remove all partitions on this system??”Use this only on New World ROM systems
or on a single-drive Yellow Dog installation. If you use this option on a multiboot
system, it removes all previous installations, including any Mac OS or MAC
OS X installation. If you use this on an Old World ROM system, regardless of the
installation type, it destroys the installation and requires a reformat and reload of
Mac OS.
