If needed on a bare bones install, I setup my partitions
first with Gparted, either the GParted Live CD, or the
version included with PartitionMagic on the UBCD CD.
But you still need to access the Create Custom Partition
Layout to make use of the partitions you have prepared ready
for use. I generally only mount the root partition, SWAP and
/tmp. Anything else gets mounted by my ALI scripts later on
after the minimal Linux installation is up and running.
