I'm trying to install Xubuntu through Unetbootin, but instead of asking me whether I want to automatically install the OS or manually partition it, it instantly goes to manual partition. Can I get some tips on how I can partition the system? (My drive is 64 GB.) Thanks!

  • What version of Xubuntu are you installing, 20.04 or 20.10? – C.S.Cameron Dec 03 '20 at 03:39

Install Xubuntu through UNetbootin

I have just installed Xubuntu 20.04 using a Live USB drive made with Unetbootin-700.

I used the Installation Type Option Erase disk and install Xubuntu and the installation went as planned.

Manual partitioning was not required.

  • From Unetbootin menu select Install Xubuntu, (if 20.10 select Default, then Install Xubuntu).

  • From the installation menu select: Language, Keyboard, Network and Updates preferences.

  • From the Installation type Screen select Erase disk and install Xubuntu.

If you want LVM and Encryption or an Experimental ZFS, the select Advanced features.

Manual partitioning can seem intimidating but it actually is not, u primarily need 3 partitions

  • /root - this stores everything related to OS
  • /swap - this is more like the page file in windows
  • /uefi - The third thing is whether u will need a UEFI partition but I believe that depends on how recent us PC / laptop build is and whether it has UEFI

Below is a good link that might help u

    Almost all is wrong. There is no `/uefi` and `/root` is not for "everything related to OS" – Pilot6 Dec 03 '20 at 07:20
