It says: " Creating the file systems With these considerations in mind, weīll divide up the disk in the following manner: 4G for the root file system, which includes /usr and /var 512M swap space The rest of the disk for /home file system" Next is "Selecting distributions" I canīt figure out any other way to decipher this........do you???
