Re: [orca-list] Installing linux with windows 10

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Well, Slint will just installs a root partition and if there is enough space
propose to add another one, both formatted with ext4, unless the drive be a
raw SD card (not a SD card in an USB adapter) in which case f2fs is used. No
swap partition (a swap file plus a swap in zram space instead) neither a
/home nor a /boot partition and the same ESP used by Windows is also used to
install the GRUB OS loader, if it's big enough. But I have to let others
comment about the Ubuntu installer.
