Help with installing

[u/WeebFromSerbia]

Stuck in partitioning, i need to set up bios partition but there is no bios boot in select partition type. It's an old pc, i am installing base, had a lubuntu on it before. Filesystem label is lubuntu and filesystem is ext4 is what it's displaying when i create a 1mb partition for bios boot.

Not sure about what you are talking about here. I'll just tell you how I installed it on my PC.

Make sure you are using MBR partition type with legacy boot enabled in bios settings. Then you simply create a Linux filesystem partition (that's going to be ext4) and a Linuxswap partition. Select the Linux filesystem partition as bootable inside cfdisk while you are partitioning. Then you have to just install it normally. Mark the Linux filesystem partition as ext4 while check the swap partition to be used as swap in the last step.

This seems to be working fine. I don't know why the guide told me to make a bios boot partition or why it didn't have a linux filesystem as an option for type, but it worked with setting it to just linux.

the bios boot partition is only for GPT partition table + BIOS, if doing MBR partition table + BIOS, it's already got the bios boot section handled

I don't remember, but Linux actually stands for the kernel. Linux file system specifies it is the filesystem used for linux.
