<p>Before installing, you may need to change the partitions on your hard disk. To install CLD, CLDG or CLDX, we recommend that you use the partition of at least 10 GB. More detailed hardware requirements can be found <ahref="http://www.calculate-linux.org/main/en/hardware_requirements"class="external">here</a>. The swap partition (swap) will normally be twice the size of RAM. If the swap partition already exists, the system will use it. It is wise to have a separate partition for your personal files (/home). See more detailed recommendations on partitioning <ahref="http://www.calculate-linux.org/main/en/disk_partitioning"class="external">here</a>.</p>
<p>The CLD distro uses <em>Partitionmanager</em> to change the disk partitioning, while CLDG and CLDX use <em>Gparted</em>. You can also partition the disk with the graphical installer, using the <em>cfdisk</em> tool. Note that CLS and CDS contain only the command line utilities: <em>fdisk</em> or <em>cfdisk</em>.</p>
