God morning everyone. I will install the Arch Linux system on my computer, but I have a big problem with partitionig my hard disk. I don,t know how much partions should I craeate. I know that I must create the SWAP and ROOT partitions. but I'm from Poland and on the Polish website of AArch Linux is writen that I should create the SWAP partition and the ROOT partition with option Bootable. Now I don't know nothing. Can someone explain this, Please help me! I thank you very much for everything. Goodbye.

Re: Problem with the installation

You need a / (root) partition) and a swap, swap is  usually about 2x ramsize
A /home is handy but optional.
The bootable option is not needed;  I never make / bootable.
