Linux installation

[Janina Sajka]

Ah!

Asyou tab across you'll come to an edit field. Press enter. You'll be in
an edit box of sorts. If you look, you'll be sitting on type of a blank
line--underscore chars, I guess. You can type there. This is where you
specify '/' -- for at least one partition, as I think you know.

Hope this is the magic help!
