edit 2: extremely sorry posting in wrong section.

ubuntu setup should detect connected drives during install.

have lot of partition options during setup, can complicated.
might easier let thing, mess gparted later.

windows user until couple years ago, , made habbit of selecting advanced when installing anything.

when installing ubuntu first time, did same. came understand, advanced.

pretty aspects of ubuntu seem give option of either "so easy, caveman it", or "we've got our switches, lights, , knobs deal with. mean, down here there literally hundreds , thousands of blinking, beeping, , flashing lights, blinking, beeping , flashing - they're flashing , they're beeping. can't stand anymore! they're blinking , beeping , flashing!"

said, satisfied, , glad no longer have windows in life.

, ecstatic, no longer have os x in life.

complicated, if want be.
