This example is in VirtualBox. First we see how to set up an efi system with separate `/`, `/home` and swap partitions as well as the necessary `/boot/efi` for the efi booting.
The `/boot/efi` partition should be labeled `esp` and `boot`.
The only critical factor in the order is that the `/boot/efi` needs to be first the others can be in any order.
`/boot/efi` is typically a 300 MB partition and needs to be fat16 or fat32 to work. Or in some other installers its file system type will be called vfat.
If you have what you want select <kbd>Next</kbd> and when installed your new system will have the separate root, home, and swap partitions.
Note that `/boot/efi` is a the top of the list in first place. This is necessary.
> Note that your swap partition is probably never going to be used. Only a small minority of users these days really need a swap partition. Those that do need swap already know who you are and can adapt accordingly. Usually swap would be needed by really old computers with not enough RAM to run Lx 3 to begin with. How much RAM is enough? In my opinion 4 GB. We do have users running Lx 3 with 1 GB but I would not recommend that. The Release Notes for Lx 3.03 do say 2 GB (min 1.5 GB). And I would go with 2 GB as a minimum myself. Upgrading the amount of memory in a computer, whether it’s a desktop, tower, or laptop, notebook, is both easy and not that expensive these days. So if your computer is short on memory do consider upgrading.
Swap may still be used on computers doing very intense level of mathematical or scientific calculating or maybe really intense graphic applications.
