Sorry...I meant will automatically create the partitions.
Might need to select FDISK instead. It's pretty much the
same way that DOS/Windows FDISK works, except that you have
to specify the TYPE of partition you want (ie DOS, VFAT,
EXT2, etc. EXT2 is the "Linux Native" partition type.)

Hmm....well, it SHOULD format automagically on install...
Mine did. Try partitioning it using LINUX FDISK and then
select "/" as the mount point for that partition in the
isntall afterwards.
