partitioning - About installation off of dvd on to a NTFS partition - Ask Ubuntu
this question has answer here:
i have 81gb partition on 500gb hard drive want install ubuntu don't know how using "something else" option. please me..
installing ntfs not supported
unfortunately, ntfs not support unix/linux file permissions , impossible install ubuntu on ntfs partition. have delete/shrink ntfs partition , create new ext4 or other supported partition(ext4 purposes).
since cannot answer original question, can provide next best alternative.
alternative solution
- shrink ntfs partition
- create new ext4 partition
- in installer, set it's mount point "/".
- (optional) create swap partition(like, place ram-dump if ram gets full, put it.)
- continue installation usual. you'd done.
refer link well: how use manual partitioning during installation?
an experiment
what i'm describing below not @ all practical , recommended. if you're interested in experimenting, should read person did run linux on ntfs. sum in short:
- create big file in ntfs partition.
- format file ext4 partition.
- mount file drive in installer.
- install linux virtual partition. in short, install linux file.
- use super grub disk @ boot time select boot file in linux installed.
there. have linux inside ntfs drive. i'm not sure how mounting original drive work put , security , practical implications of be, possible, least.
