Correct.

You have to setup all the partitioning manually unfortunately.

Nope, I wouldn't bother testing it that way. I think in the original thread
you said you don't have a new enough computer that has M.2/NVMe built-in
correct? Kinda hard to test it then :)

If you really want to be able to then you'll need some newer hardware. If
$$$ is a problem, maybe an inexpensive micro-ATX and Athlon 200GE chip.
