-Creating and deleting partitions can be done from within &d-i; as
-well as from an existing operating system. As a rule of thumb,
-partitions should be created by the system for which they are to
-be used, i.e. partitions to be used by &debian-gnu; should be
-created from within &d-i; and partitions to be used from another
-operating system should be created from there. &d-i; is
-capable of creating non-&arch-kernel; partitions, and partitions created
-this way usually work without problems when used in other operating
-systems, but there are a few rare corner cases in which this could
-cause problems, so if you want to be sure, use the native partitioning
-tools to create partitions for use by other operating systems.

-If you are going to install more than one operating system on the same
