~~<li>If you get a warning with something like "This device may contain data" - it's probably your new hard drive and you can safely use it.</li>~~

<li>Select '''Create Custom Layout''', we don't want to use the default setup now. If you are using a hard drive that contains partitions from a previous course (previous version of Linux), delete all partitions prior to proceeding.</li>

<li>On your drive you will need the following partitions. These may be primary partitions or logical drives. If you have more space than 250GB available - you can add the extra space in equal parts to /home and /var/lib/libvirt/images</li>

~~<li>x</li>~~

~~<li>Record briefly in your lab logbook what partitions you created of what size and what device names were assigned to them (/dev/sda1, etc.).</li>~~

~~<li>After confirming partition settings, click next and select '''write changes to disk'''. The installation program will create and format the partitions.</li>~~
