Dear Sir Stephen Lui before adding a "/" linux native root partition just add first a native partition "/boot" with 5MB needed then after press add again for the swap partion your swap partion must be 2x your memory so for example you have 64mB memory your swap partion must be at least 128MB. then add your "/" root pation then add an asterisk to Grow to fill this disk this will install your all your linux program in there
