“Installation Program and Installation Process: A statement in
the official Tour Guide says that the installation program (of
Mandriva Desktop 2011) is new. That, is not exactly true. It is
still the same Mandriva installer. A few steps have been removed, a
few rearranged, but the core of the installer, as far as I can see,
has not changed. If you have ever installed previous releases of
Mandriva, the image below should be very familiar. It is the step
in the installation process that shows the available partitioning
methods. Depending on the state of the target hard drive, one or
two of the options shown will not be listed. Aside from the “Custom
disk partitioning” option, selecting any other option will result
in an automated partitioning of the target disk, without further
input from you until the boot loader configuration step.”
