Hi Martin
I had a flash drive for test purposes which was already GPT partitioned
with:
1 MiB Ext2 for BootBios
256 MiB Ext4 for /boot
17 GiB Ext4 for /
40 GiB Ext for /home
The installation was straight forward, only needing to reformat each
partition - the only annoyance was that I didn't have a chance to
change the localname.localnetwork to something useful.
The installer detected the BootBios partition and installed Grub2 correctly.
There were no additional options for SSD or flash drives. I manually
added "noatime" and 'discard' to the fstab entries for /, /boot and
/home partitions afterwards.
Also, I created "60-schedulers.rules" and "60-vm.swappiness.conf" as
follows and then run "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg"
With best regards, Simon
