Example #1: Simple partitioning

Partition Mount Point Size (MB)
/dev/hda1 / 1000
/dev/hda2 swap 100


Notice that this example doesn't use all of the available disk. There is still some 900 MB of space left on the disk that can be used to create more partitions at a later time. The swap partition should be adequate to almost any system needs, and the root file system is large enough to accommodate a reasonable installation and still leave room for some user created data files.
