It's been a while since I did it, but I thought the defaults more or

what to create, I let it create default partitions then looked at what
it did. If I wasn't happy with the sizing, I could tweak things.
Thanks! So, should I not bother with setting up a swap partition? And is
hibernate supposed to work out of the box automagically? (I am talking of F41

Many thanks again, and best wishes,

Depending on what you are doing, a swap may or not be needed. I do
graphics work and there are times that I have filled all my ram and
still used swap which prevented issues.
I have a machine with 32G of ram and 8gig swap.
I find that Firefox can use up a large portion of ram at times. Of
course I abuse it with hundreds of open tabs.
