- ### Partition Manager: [Interactive - Skippable]
Use "cgdisk" to perform various disk operations to any detected drive in your system.
The'Partition Manager' stage consists of 2 Modes:
This is a key part of the installation, as it depends on you to correctly set the GUIDs in every relevant partition that is to be used in the installation disk.
An 'Auto Mode' that offers ready-made compatible Partition Layout Presets with sane defaults to select from.
For convenience, a message will be printed on screen, showing you the corresponding GUID codes.
A 'Manual Mode', (which shows extended info about the supported partition types and mountpoints that the installer expects), where 'cgdisk' is used, with its easy and and intuitive ncurses TUI.
Creation of an "EFI" System Partition and a "Root x86-64" Partition is mandatory.
The partitions layout in this step should reflect your previous choices, e.g. if you chose to use a "Swap" partition, and it does not exist, now is the time to create it.

If you need a seperate "Home" partition, create it now or an existing one can also be used.

It will ensure that an "EFI" System Partition indeed exists, that a "Root x86-64" partition exists, that a "Swap" partition exists IF you chose to use a "Swap" partition and will also detect an existing seperate "Home" partition.
If the Sanity Check fails, the installer will send you back to the "Disk Manager" step, so you can correct any errors/omissions.
A smart mechanism will scan the partitions on the selected (installation) disk and if more than one of each type {root/EFI/home/swap} are detected, then it will Auto-Assign the 1st partition of each (involved) type, to be used by systemd's automation in the installation (as the 'Discoverable Partitions Specifications' dictate).

Of course comes with its own menu/prompts, for user interaction.
As a precaution step, the installer also scans the installation disk and if the ESP is found to be less than 300M,
then it returns to the 'Partition Manager' stage, so the user can remedy this.
For extended clarity reasons, A TUI partition/filesystem presentation is presented
when multiple partitions of the same type {root/EFI/home/swap} have been detected and the user needs to CONFIRM the Automated Selection made by the installer.
If the Sanity Check fails, the installer will send you back to the "Disk Manager" step, so you can correct any errors/omissions.
