Assisted General Server Disk Configuration

If "Assisted server configuration" was chosen, the following will appear on the screen (the partitions and numbers are an example using a simple configuration):

  Select a disk to wipe out and partition:

  => hda  10048MB

  [hda] >

where the "=>" indicator is to the left of the default partion. Type in the partition you wish to choose, or press the "Enter" key to accept the default. When you have chosen, the "Configuring: hda" screen (following the above example) will appear:

  The default patition layout is /boot. /, swap, /usr, /tmp, /var, /var/cache.
  and /var/log in that order. Left over space will be unassigned.

  Select the size of each partition in megabytes (autoconfigured defaults
  shown):

  /boot      [256] > 
  /          [2048] >
  swap       [123] >
  /usr       [2568] >
  /tmp       [1024] >
  /var       [1024] >
  /var/cache [1024] >
  /var/log   [512] >

allowing you to accept the defaults or modify the automatic configuration choices. After all choices have been made, a short message appears:

  Paritioning...

and then Cinch moves on to the "Build New File System" screen.
