General Question #14

Closed gpk2000 closed 3 years ago

Hi i want to boot up this ISO but i find that you need to wipe your entire hard-disk to install it? Is there any workaround where i can install it in selected partition? Thanks.

For installing the iso in boot live you need to format a disk of course (generally a usb stick)

If you are talking about actually installing the OS, you don't have to wipe the entire disk

You can easily manually make partitions with gparted

The Linux Swap if you don't already have a partition should be : 512M The / (root) should be at least : 10G

I think you can even do that in abif the program used to install the distro easily

If you have other OS 's and installing grub you might want to check out this to see Grub alongside OS's

If you don't care about for example ricing your bootloader you can go with systemd which offers a great supports detecting other OS's

Also there abif can let you chose beetween systemd and grub
