One of the hardest questions to answer during a Debian installation is how to partition your disk. You are  presented with four options:

 * Guided - use entire disk
 * Guided - use entire disk and setup LVM
 * Guided - use entire disk and setup encrypted LVM
 * Manual 

This page explains how to setup your partitions using the "Manual" option in a way that will result in something similar to "Guided - use entire disk and setup encrypted LVM," but allows you to fully understand each part.
