OpenMandriva installer is [Calamares](http://calamares.io/).
It is easy, usable, beautiful, pragmatic, inclusive and distribution-agnostic.
Calamares includes an advanced partitioning feature, with support for both manual and automated partitioning operations.
To do pretty much anything you need with partitions you want to select “Manual Partitioning”.

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 first step is to select “New Partition Table”.

If it is legacy boot you can select either `MBR` or `GPT`.

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.
So we create them one at a time.
