This page allows you to select how you want to partition the disk you have selected for installation. Depending on the disk's current configuration, you may have any of the following options:
Erase and Use Whole Disk: This option will erase all data currently on the disk, and then configure the entire disk to be used for Adélie Linux.
Ensure any data on this disk has been backed up to other media before selecting this option. You will not be able to recover any data from the disk after installation is completed.
Use Free Space: This option will install Adélie Linux in to the free space present on the selected disk. No existing data will be erased.
Use Exising Partition(s): This option will allow you to choose a partition already present on the selected disk for installation. You may select to erase the partition, or install to a partition that is already formatted.
Note: If an existing Linux or Unix system is already present on the selected partition, it may be damaged. Always ensure that you select a partition that can be used exclusively by Adélie Linux.
Manual: This option will open a partition editor for you to manipulate partitions in whatever way you wish. After you are finished in the partition editor, you will be able to select the mount points of the partitions.
