Hey All,
I finally went for a long delayed upgrade from 16.04 to 20.04. I made 4 or 5 attempts, using the 20.04 live disk - but canceled them when I came to something I wanted to be sure of before continuing.
However, as I started the newest attempt, there was a msg that Ubuntu 20.04 was already installed on the system. I went ahead and continued running 20.04, believing that the install would go back to step 1 and erase anything still on the HDD during the procedure as step one. Is this accurate?
I wanted a clean install - preferably with a single partition. Minus the boot, and any system partitions needed.
If the "Focal Fossa" installation will automatically build-in whatever sub-partitions, do I need to manually divide the primary partition into sub-partitions? If I later want an extra partition, can do that with the installed O.S?
There is a line showing "installation type" which shows "/dev/sda" the next lines are --
"/dev/sda1" (type) Fat 32 (size) 536 MB (used) 33 MB
"/dev/sda5" (type) ext 4 (size) 639595 MB (Used) 16375 MB (system) Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (20.04)
I seem to recall that "Fat 32" should be either "FAT 64" or "EXT 3" or "EXT 4"
Below this information at the right side of the screen is a button labeled
"New Partition Table ..." and a button labeled "Revert"
Then it shows "Device for boot loader installation:"
/dev/sda ATA WDC WD 6400AAKS-0 (640.1 GB"

Off topic question:
Also: I used the Ubuntu 20.04 live disk to finish a little bit of temporary work. I recently got a faster internet speed, but my system did not seem as fast as it should after a 5-fold speed increase. Assuming everything else is configured correctly, could Ubuntu 20.04 be slowing it down?
