Note
If you have not yet planned how to set up your partitions, refer to Chapter 25, An
Introduction to Disk Partitions and Section 18.4, “Recommended Partitioning
Scheme”. At a bare minimum, you need an appropriately-sized root partition, and
a swap partition equal to twice the amount of RAM you have on the system.
Itanium system users should have a /boot/efi/ partition of approximately 100
MB and of type FAT (VFAT), a swap partition of at least 512 MB, and an
appropriately-sized root (/) partition.

The partitioning tool used by the installation program is Disk Druid. With the exception of
certain esoteric situations, Disk Druid can handle the partitioning requirements for a typical
installation.
