&#8211; yes we haven't finished with partitioning just yet. First delete
the second partition which will show up in
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Disk Druid</SPAN
>'s screen as
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/dev/hda2.</TT
> Then create a new
partiton, set its mount point to
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/boot</TT

<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>16</TT
><3E>Mb. Create the second partition and set its
mount point to <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/</TT
>(that's called the
root partition) and size to <EM
>growable</EM
>. This tells
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Disk Druid</SPAN
> to reclaim all free space after you
have finshed partititoning . Create the third partition and set its mount
point to <SPAN
