Formatting Partitions

Now you will be prompted for which partitions to use for swap space. The installer usually gets this right on its own, and will present you with the correct options already checked. If not, select the appropriate partitions and select "Ok".

You will now be prompted for which partitions to format. I strongly advise formatting the / and /usr partitions. Any partitions that contain only user data do not need to be formatted.
