A third option...
A third option, manually editing the partition, enables you to be more exacting about your partition setup, but you should not try this without help or at least without reading Chapter 7.
The guided partitioning section presents three partitioning schemes. Each of the options includes a suitable amount of swap space but has different benefits based on your situation. You must select one from the list before you proceed. See the "Selecting a Partition Scheme" sidebar for more information.
NOTE
When installing to small disk drives (those under a few gigabytes in size), you should use
ext2 file systems instead of ext3. The journaling feature in ext3 requires that a portion of
the disk be set aside for the journal, but the feature is of limited usefulness on small file systems. You
can change file system types by going into the partition properties. To do this, highlight the partition
using the arrow keys and press Enter.
CAUTION
The next step will modify the contents of your hard disk. Check your partition settings
carefully before proceeding.
6. With your partition configuration chosen, select Finish Partitioning and Write Changes
to Disk. This is your last chance to cancel changes that could cause damage to any
other operating systems you may have on the disk, so check the screen carefully before
proceeding!
7. Select your time zone from a list.
8. The base system includes an empty password for the root (superuser) account, which
means that you want to set one here. Select a password that you will remember but that
others will not be able to guess easily.
9. Add a non-administrative account that you can use for your day-to-day tasks on the
server. Enter your name, your desired username (this should not contain any spaces or
punctuation other than dashes, must not start with a number, and is generally all in lowercase),
and a password for this account. If you have more users to add, you can do so
later, as described in Chapter 4.
