I don't know how to dual-boot Lubuntu 14.04












1















Quite simply, I don't know what I'm doing and I've come to the screen where it has the options: Erase Disk and Install Lubuntu, Encrypt, Use LVM or Something else.



I want to keep my windows 7, and I'm not sure whether to use LVM (Logical Volume Management) or 'Something else'(Custom Partitioning).



So, how do I dual-boot Windows 7 and Lubuntu?

Partition your drive. Just know that Lubuntu won't recognize Windows drives.



Like user2548592 said, it may just be a better idea to install Ubuntu and get Lxde Desktop using apt-get.



This can be accomplished by running sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop.
