I'm doing a clean install of Beta1, using the live ISO, and had a question about partitioning. What option do you guys recommend to basically reformat the disk, and let the installer partition on it's own? the first option (guided - resize SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #3 (sda) and use freed s)
or
Guided -use entire disk
or
Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM?
I have no clue what any of these are, as they weren't present in the 9.04.1 live CD image, and I couldn't find any "for dummies" information regarding this on google. I'm thinking I should use the "use entire disk" option, because that would then clean my disk and then partition on it's own. The first option sounds more like it will take whats there, repartition it, and thne install it, leaving two copies on my disk...is this right?
