Hi all,
I bought a new computer, that came with Windows 10, and am going to REPLACE W10 with Ubuntu. I've already screwed that up twice, being totally naive about Linux, but am learning from each failure. I'm hoping that the next try is the success! Anyway, I have 256GB of ssd and a 1TB hdd. I guess I have two questions, at this point. First, what is the best way to partition these two disks for PI? (Image processing is to be the dedicated purpose of this machine.) That is, where are the various things like '/', /swap', and '/home' and whatever else I need best assigned best located (ssd, hdd, both)? (To be honest, I don't really know what the 'x' things are even called, so be gentle!)
My second question is where to install PI, I tried to put it on the hdd (with the system on the ssd for my latest installation attempt) and while it did not complain, it also did not work. At that point, the hdd was just as Windows left it. I had located the script and the PI icon, and neither did a thing when clicked/executed. I suspect the script did not find the things it needed at the locations where they were supposed to be.
Any help you can provide or links you can point to are greatly appreciated.
Alex
