I tried the installation a short while ago. I got lost. As I

The bios has been updated. The live media is ready.
What I want:

I was unable to figure out what to do in the live media screen where
disk(s) are set up. I abandoned the install.
How do I do this?
I don't understand why you want to do that, but click the menu in the
top-right corner to access the manual disk tool. That partitioning
basically wastes your entire SSD.
Actually, I did get that far. But I did/do not know how to fill out
that screen.
On the installation method screen, under Destination, make sure both
drives are listed. If not, click "Change destination" and select both.
Launch the storage editor from the top-right menu.
I expect you'll have a "nvme0n1" and a "sda" listed. Click the menu to
the right of each one and create partition table. GPT is the default.
Click the menu for the nmve free space and create partition. Set the
type to efi and the size to 500MB. Give it a name if you want.
Click the menu for the nmve free space and create partition. Set the
name to "root", mount point "/", and type to btrfs (or ext4 if you
really want). Since you're not using encryption, you don't need a
separate partition for /boot and this way you don't need to worry about
space.
Click the menu for sda free space and create partition. Set the name to
"home", mount point "/home" and type to btrfs (or ext4).
Click return to installation. You should get a dialog box saying the
layout is valid. Continue. You'll be back to the main installer and
you can continue as usual.
I recall the 1 TB on the old desktop getting quite full (in addition
to /boot) - old application bins, logs, and I don't remember what else.
I suppose some things just didn't get cleaned out as they should.
More than once, I had to do some serious clean-up other than in /boot.
I'd rather have meaningful "pad" than suddenly and frequently having
not-enough-space emergencies.
That must have been things in /home because I can't imagine how you
would fill 1TB with just /.
