 This is a visual walk through about manually partitioning your Harddisc, during the setup of Sabayon Linux. |
 then select the free space where we want to install our Sabayon and Click on create. |
 The first partition to create is the /boot partition. As file system type, i've chosen ext4. Click again on create. |
 Now we're going to create a swap partition, as for the size I've chosen 1500Mb that is a decent space but you can choose more if you have more than 1Gb ram. Then we need to create a root partition as before. |
 For the root partition we're going to use all our free space left, and as for the fs type...I've chosen ext4 but basically |
 This is our final configuration as you can see.
|
| I hope this is useful for everybody ~
