To make the partitions listed below on your system; this is the partition we'll need for our server installation example; the command will be under Disk Druid:

Add
Mount Point: /boot our /boot directory.

Partition Type: Linux Native
Ok

Add
Mount Point: /usr our /usr directory.
Size (Megs): 512
Partition Type: Linux Native
Ok

Add
Mount Point: /home our /home directory.
Size (Megs): 1146
Partition Type: Linux Native
Ok

Add
Mount Point: /chroot our /chroot directory.

After the partitions of your hard disk has been completed, you must see something like the following information on your screen. Our mount points will look like this:

Table 3-1. Sample representaion of partitions

Note: We are using a SCSI hard disk hence the first two letters of the device are sd.
