Yep, you're right. My bad.

You believe well.

For now I used the XFS 'provided' by the graphical installer, but at some  
point in the future I hope to figure out how to make it work with ext4.


Thanks for the explanation.

During installation the 'install software' step failed.

Which one is the 'install software' step? How did it fail?

I've never used the installer for T8, so someone might have better answers...

1) Normally when you start the installer you have an option for how you want  
to install, and one of the options will say something like "do something  
else." Choose that option and you can create your own partitions.


2) Use ext4 unless you have huge storage (>16TB).

[Trisquel-users] LVM : xfs vs ext

[jbahn]

I am (again) trying to make a full disk encryption installation of Trisquel  
(8).


I just gave up on the method explained on libreboot.org  
(https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/encrypted_trisquel.html). During  
installation the 'install software' step failed.


Now I am trying to use the automated method provided by the Trisquel  
installer, but I face two 'unknowns':


1) It doesn't seem that I can manually create a swap partition. Will it do  
that automatically?


2) The manual at libroboot.org and others instruct to use the ext4 file  
system, but the Trisquel installer uses the xfs file system.


What would you advise?
