You need to create a root partition called /
. As far as size is concerned, 5GB is a good size for desktop use. You can by all
means make it bigger if you like, but anything over 10Gb will be just wasted
space. I've been running my desktoop machines with 5GB / partitions for a
long time and never have run out of space. Just set it up like the pic
below. When you're done click on OK.</FONT></p> <FONT class="content"><IMG src="http://www.linuxloader.com/articlepics/howtos/kubwks606/install7.jpg" />
</FONT><P><FONT class="content">Next we need to repete the process and  create a swap partition. This is the
same as a Windows page file. You'll find the "linux-swap" listed under the
"Partition Type" dropdown menu. I like to make mine about 1.0GB. It works for
most systems very well. </FONT></p> <FONT class="content"><IMG src="http://www.linuxloader.com/articlepics/howtos/kubwks606/install8.jpg" />
</FONT><P><FONT class="content">The finel partition for a desktop install is a /home partition. This is
where everything that is yours will be stored. It seperates all of your data
from the system data. I use the rest of the disk for this. </FONT></p> <FONT class="content"><IMG src="http://www.linuxloader.com/articlepics/howtos/kubwks606/install9.jpg" />
