First select manual partitioning (all these are the same screen): https://www.howtoforge.com/images/debian_stretch_minimal_server/debian-9-server-img-16.png https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/images/inst-partman.png https://photonsphere.org/img/PartitionDisks.png Then select the disk (should resemble one of these): https://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Select-free-space-to-partition.png https://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Overview-of-disks.png https://photonsphere.org/img/PartitionDisksManual3.png Choose the partition to configure (I think these are actually the same screen as previous group, except with disk's partitions expanded): https://www.pontikis.net/blog/media/2013/04/debian-7-wheezy-rc1-lamp-server-setup-step-by-step/post/VBX_DEBIAN7_31_partitioning.png https://blog.sleeplessbeastie.eu/assets/uploads/2013/10/debian_install-partition_disks-partitions_end.png Here's the screen where the main business gets done, selecting mount point, format type, mount options, volume label: https://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Swap-Partition-Details.png https://photonsphere.org/img/PartitionDisksBootPartitionSettings.png https://www.pontikis.net/blog/media/2013/04/debian-7-wheezy-rc1-lamp-server-setup-step-by-step/post/VBX_DEBIAN7_25_partitioning.png Select mount point detail screen: https://www.pontikis.net/blog/media/2013/04/debian-7-wheezy-rc1-lamp-server-setup-step-by-step/post/VBX_DEBIAN7_26_partitioning.png If I knew how to get my own screencaps from a text install on real hardware (not a virtual machine) I would make my own web page to do what the Debian Handbook seems can't be bothered to do. It would probably be somewhat like https://www.pontikis.net/blog/debian-7-wheezy-rc1-lamp-server-setup-step-by-step except the images would be big enough to see without having to open each in turn. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
