“Epidemic is a desktop-oriented, KDE, Debian-based
(GNU/Linux) distribution developed in Brazil. Epidemic 3.1, the
latest edition, features a number of custom tools and improvements.
One of those tools is EInstaller, the graphical installation
program. It is supposed to be easy to use, but if you have are not
familiar with disk partitioning under Linux, you’ll find that it’s
not so easy to use. This tutorial provides an installation guide
for Epidemic 3.1, with emphasis on the disk partitioning aspect.

“EInstaller makes a very good attempt at simplifying the
installation of Epidemic 3.1, but the disk partitioning section,
especially if there are no existing Linux partitions, requires a
little bit of guidance. The image below shows the installer’s main
page on a system with an uninitialized disk. Because EInstaller
lacks an automatic disk partitioning feature, you’ll have to
manually partition the disk yourself. To do that, click on the
‘Partitioner’ button.”
