ok i set up a large 250gb root at beginning of soace. and am allocating the remainder of the 2tb to /home. Does it matter if I leave /home at “ beginning of this space” or change it to “ end of this space”?

In Installation Type window, I highlighted /dev/sdb and the + sign is grayed out , so I chose “New partition table”. A message -“ you have selected an entire device to partition. If you proceed with creatinga new partition table on tge device then all current partitions will be removed”. is this ok?

when i went back into installation, it had changed my partition name from sda to sdb. so I will delete all sdbx partitions except /dev/sdb and revset them up with the correct sizes. correct?

the install completed, and I chose “continue testing” instead of “restart”. The partition sizes it used were not what i needed, so I tried to start at Install Linux Mint again & it threw an error. Do I need to restart and select my usb stick as the boot sector and start over?

it went to select time zone and after I selected, it started installing without giving me sizing options. will that come later?

I chose delete and reinstall & am at the Install now. Will it give me the ability to size my partitions in the next step ?

been through all that in earlier thread. Can I delete sda1 “/“. and delete sda3 “/“ and start over. or should I go back a step and choose drlete and reinstall instead of something else?Reminder, this is a clean install so no data loss risk

I removed 200gb from the home partition, and now am adding 200gb to the root sda1. settings : ext4 journaling, check the format the partition box, and set the mount point to “/“. sound correct?

I chose something else and I am resizing my sda3 /home partition. So I assume I should choose /home as my mount point again

my typo ext4 journaling file system

do i “use as” etf4 journaling file system?

can you walk me through reinstalling linux ? I have the “Install Linux mint” icon on my desktop and I am booted in using the usb stick, so can i just start with that install icon

I’m stuck. I don’t want degraded performance and I can’t seem to move the partition so …

I think I’ll have to change the align setting to cylinder or none. can you explain those settings?
