     - Press "enter" on default First sector again.  
     - Press "enter" on default Last sector this time to use the remaining space if just creating one other partition `/root` or using LVM otherwise if more seperate partitions will be created, example: `/home` and/or `/swap` and/or `/var` then put in a fixed amount of space by repeating step ***4.3.*** for each but make sure to do `/root` last if no seperate `/home` partition or `/home` last if specified and let it have the remaining space by just pressing "Enter". Another option is to specifiy space for the last created partition (`/home`/`/root`) therefore we have leftover unused space to use in the future to possibily allocate to existing or create more partitions.  
-    > NOTE: General recommendations but can greatly differ 
-    `+60G` for /root
-    /root recommended at least 15-20G, more is better. If `/home` is created then user-data will be stored in `/home`. `root` will usually store what's installed from the package manager(s) therefore if many packages/software will be installed don't be afraid to increase the size, example `+80G` or more if disk has enough space.
-    `+4G` or general rule of thumb is 1x2 of RAM. for `/swap` though can use swapfile
-    `+10G` for `/var` or `/var/tmp`

     4.4. (Optional) Encrypt our main partition `sda2` using LUKS  
     - Load dm-crypt and dm-mod kernel modules
