Hi Vadenasy, if you only have 1 hard drive in your linux workstation then I would suggest just selecting the automatic partitioning. Theres no real benefit of creating partitions manually with a single disk configuration. The automatic partition creation will create a /boot partition about 100MB a swap partition twice the size of physical ram you have installed, and a / partition the size of your drive minus the swap and boot.
