To install without using lvm!
WARNING!!! I recommend you disable/unplug ALL hard disks you do not want to put the system on to make it easier to partition. Data loss can result if you don't know what disks are which or you make an error. WARNING.
11: OK no here is the easy/hard part. I recommend you set up disk partitions without using the default lvm setup. Heres how.
1.go to the bottom and select “Create Custom Layout” and click “next”
2. on the new screen delete lv-root and lv-swap by selecting one at a time and clicking delete.
3. Next delete “vg_xxxxxxx” the same way by clicking on it and hitting delete. Note: the xxxxxx is different on every machine.
4. Now delete ALL partitions under hard drives. Now you will see free space the size of the drive
5. Click on free space and click create. On the menu select “standard partition”
go to file system type and click “Swap.” if you have over 2GB of ram and plenty of HDD space give it 1GB or so “Fixed” size. I myself have 1 GB reserved but I have never had to use it. Hit OK
6. Click create again, and we will make a /boot mount point. Click free space, click create, “Standard Partition” under mount point select “/boot” file system type is “Ext4” you should be ok with 500MB here. I would not go under 200 or so. Click OK
7. ok now the last one. Your ROOT partition. I would make it the rest of the disk. Just click free space, and create one more time. Under mount point select “/”
under file system type select “EXT4” under leave the size box along and select “Fill to Maximum allowable size” that will use up the rest of the disk, and give you plenty of room for a landing zone if you plan to use greyhole.
8. Click NEXT and select “Write Changes to Disk”
