Partitioning of hard drive(s) can be tricky for the new user. For a
new installation you will want to erase the entire disk, which is
usually the default option. The Debian Installer provides options to
partition your disk in a number of ways. It recommends a simple,
single partition, which is a good choice to start with, but choose an
option that matches your situation. Another good choice is to create
two partitions, one of say 10GB for / and the remainder for
/home. This way you can wipe out / and reinstall
GNU/Linux and still retain your /home files. Unless you know
what you are doing, stay with one of these simpler schemes, although a
fuller discussion of Disk Partitioning is included in
Chapter 72.
