Installation guide

Caution
If you select this option, all data on the selected DASD and SCSI storage
drive(s) is removed by the installation program. Do not select this option if you
have information that you want to keep on the storage drive(s) where you are
installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
• Remove Linux partitions on selected drives and create default layout — select this op-
tion to remove only Linux partitions (partitions created from a previous Linux installation).
This does not remove other partitions you may have on your storage drive(s) (such as z/VM
or z/OS partitions).
• Use free space on selected drives and create default layout — select this option to retain
your current data and partitions, assuming you have enough free space available on your
storage drive(s).
Figure 17.12. Create Default Layout
Using your mouse, choose the storage drive(s) on which you want Red Hat Enterprise Linux to
be installed. If you have two or more drives, you can choose which drive(s) should contain this
installation. Unselected drives, and any data on them, are not touched.
