The installation DVD wants to format both the first two partitions.
Don't let it. As your case is special, you have to use the "expert" setting and choose your exact requirements.
Thanks for your reply. But I have a lot to learn. Where do I choose the "expert" setting?
Another thing you will have to decide is where and how to install the boot loader. My choice is:
- one distro installs grub in the MBR -> primary grub
- the rest install grub in the boot record of their root partition, and
the primary grub chainloads the secondary grub:
I'm not sure how to do that either. Will the installation offer those choices?
