Well, I have to switch over to Ubuntu last night after a disastrous reformatting. And I have some questions.
So I successfully got Ubuntu going from the USB and I selected to also install it onto the HDD. It told me I needed to make a root directory (or something along those lines) to install Ubuntu.
After some search I found I need to make a "/" a "/boot" and a "swapspace" partition. I then read "/boot" is not needed. So I made a 4096MB swapspace (hopefully more than I'll ever need). Then I made a "\" with the reaming space on the 1TB HDD.
Is this right? I feel like the "\" should've been like tops 10GB and then the rest unallocated? I think as it is now I will not be able to save a file because "/" is allocated to everything? Or did I do it right and "/" has all free space to work with.?
What are the normal partitions I would want under Ubuntu?
(Sorry got a lot of \ and / mixed up)
