Bollocks.... #Linux help wanted, #LinuxMint;
I'm on the fifth section of the installation, the 'Installation type' screen. I have a FAT32 partition of 100GB. Have clicked that and the online instructions say; "Linux Mint requires one partition to be mounted on the root / directory.
The Linux Mint operating system (without additional software or personal data) takes roughly 15GB, so give this partition a decent size (100GB or more).
ext4 is recommended. It is the most popular Linux filesystem."
Which I've done, with the mount point being '/' as detailed in the instruction's photo.
Online instructions further state; "Also create a swap partition. This partition is used for hibernation and as a safety buffer in case your computer runs out of RAM. Give this partition a size equal to the amount of RAM in your computer."
I can't seem to add this in the partition.... how do I do this?
(There is a further issue but I'll get to that after I've hopefully had advice on the above first).
