Installing Lubuntu without changing partitions

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 640 / 2 Years ago, sat, november 27, 2021, 3:58:43

I've just downloaded and burned Lubuntu to a disc, and want to install it. However during the installation it wants to split my HD up in 2 partitions. I really dont want this, as i'm afraid my current Win7 installation will get corrupt, and just want to keep 1 partition in general.

Can i somehow skip this step, if not why?

I am guessing you installed Ubuntu using wubi.

My advice is to suggest you install lubuntu onto ubuntu

sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

If you do not want to do that, my next piece of advice would be to go ahead and do a standard installation.

Resize your windows partitions from within windows, make some free space, and install lubuntu into the resulting free space.
