Sorry, didn't mean to get off list, this is due to using too many different MUIs.

I'm writing this from memory so it may be inaccurate and I assume SSD is handled just like a hard disc: When the partitioner is started it should let you choose guided partitioning either with or without LVM, selecting either should bring up a menu of predefined recipes. After selecting a recipe it should show the partitioning scheme to be applied and allow tweaking each partition. > > However, you are saying it doesn't matter?

I believe so for workstations but I haven't set many of those, now it's on the list I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Ohh, of course if using LVM you need to setup a separate /boot. > > thanks for your patience as ever! > > nigel Not at all, Odd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
