{{MessageBox|backgroundcolor =#faa|image =OverviewWarning.png|heading =WARNING|message =Unless Recommend you disable/unplug ALL hard disks you do not want to put the system on to make it easier to partition. Data loss can result if you have a reason for doing otherwise, we recommend that accidentally get confused about what disks are which or you create make an error.}}The Amahi team makes the following partitions for recommendations when partitioning drives in Amahi Fedora based systems7 or greater:* swap* /boot* /home* /
= How to Partition=At the partitioning point of the Fedora installer, you do this:* Select '''INSTALLATION DESTINATION''' under ''STORAGE'' section.* Verify the correct drive is selected, then choose '''Done'''.* Ensure '''Partition scheme''' reflects ''Standard Partition''.* Choose ''I want to review/modify my disk partitions before continuing'' and select '''Continue'''.* When prompted with '''INSTALLATION OPTIONS''', select ''Custom partitioning''.* Choose each partition and select the '''minus''' (-) to remove them individually until all the partitions have been removed.# If prompted ''Are you sure you want to delete all the data on...'', choose '''Delete it'''# Ensure ''Delete all other filesystems in the Unknown root as well'' is selected.* You should now see the message ''You haven't created any mount points for your installation yet''.* First we need to make the ''Swap''. Click on the plus (+) and a window will appear:# Choose '''Mount Point''' of ''Swap''.# Enter '''Desired Capacity''' based on the chart below.# Select '''Add mount point'''.::'''NOTE:''' The following table provides the recommended size of a swap partition depending on the amount of RAM in your system. ::{|class="wikitable"
!System RAM
!Recommended swap space
|4GB of swap space
|}
* Next is ''/boot''. Click on the plus (+) and a window will appear:
# Choose '''Mount Point''' of ''/boot''.
# Enter '''Desired Capacity''' of ''500MB''.
# Select '''Add mount point'''.
* The last one is the ''/'' (root). Click on the plus (+) and a window will appear:
# Choose '''Mount Point''' of ''/''.
# Enter '''Desired Capacity''' of the amount of remaining disk space (this is displayed at the bottom of the installer window)
# Select '''Add mount point'''.
* Review the partition scheme and if it looks ok, choose '''Done''' and select '''Accept changes'''.
= Example =
For a system with 1GB RAM and 10GB hard drive, the following settings would apply for '''Desired capacity''':
* Swap = 2GB
* /boot = 500MB
* / = 7.73GB
