Hello !
I have a HP Stream laptop, it contains a 32G MMC SSD with EFI system on which is installed Xubuntu 16.04 LTS on the entire disk.
It works well but I would like to install xubuntu on an external ssd drive too, which allows in booting on to have much more place...
I have tried to install Xubuntu with the option install something else :
I booted on the Xubuntu live USB
Lunched Gparted to prepare the external SSD with partition : fat32 (with flag boot and esp for the EFI) , ext4 and swap-linux.
Ran the Xubuntu installer, after the step where I chose install something else. The partitioner showed me the MMC (with partitions efi, ext4->xubuntu 16.04 and swap) and SSD with the right partitions (efi, ext4, swap).
I selected ext4 partition and chose the mounting point / and formating.
I clicked on install but a window appeared which prevented me that the system would format ext4 partition as ext4, swap as swap from ssd AND ALL MY MMC AS SWAP... I don't understand why the system want to format my MMC whereas i didn't tick the box neither nothing else...
I really need your help !!! Thanks you very much...
