Review: United Linux 1.0

Partitioning

If desired, the installation tool takes over the partitioning of the hard disks automatically. As preferred file system it proposes ReiserFS. As alternatives ext2/3, XFS and JFS are available. If the administrator prefers a manual partitioning, he may either use the graphical tool Disk Druid or the CLI-oriented Fdisk. Besides that, also storage subsystems can be configured as RAID or via the Logical Volume Manager LVM in this installation step.

After finishing the configuration tasks, YaST formats the volumes according to the settings and copies the selected packages into the system. Finally, the tool writes the configuration files, installs the preferred boot manager (default is GRUB) and restarts the system from hard disk.
