OK, this sounds like the screen interface that sets up the disk
partitions. There is disk druid and Linux's version of fdisk.
Whatever partition is listed in that screen as a native
Linux partition and is the biggest one, should have a "mount point"
of just "/". There may also be partitions listed as "/boot"
and swap. For general use, these 3 partitions are all you need.
The swap partition doesn't have a name.

I'm somewhat up on this right now, as I've been building Linux
disks on a test system.
