Partitions

Choose where you would like Miracle Linux to be installed.

If you just finished partitioning with fdisk, you must define mount points for your partitions. Use the Edit button, once you have chosen a partition, to define its mount point.

As you scroll through the Partitions section, you might see an Unallocated Requested Partition message (in red text), followed by one or more partitions. A common reason for having an unallocated partition is a lack of sufficient free space for the partition.

Partitioning Your System

The center row of buttons controls the partitioning tool's actions. You can add, edit, and delete partitions here. In addition, there are buttons you can use to accept the changes you've made, or to reset and exit the partitioning tool.
