Someone requested a guide on installing 12?

Hi,

I can't remember if it was PM sent to me or on another thread - at the moment I am busy backing up a Family Member's computer to transfer everything onto a new PC I built for them (spec: CoolerMaster 650 Slilencio Mid Tower, ASUS Maximus Ranger VIII with Skylake Processor (i7 6800K) with CoolerMaster CPU Cooler, CoolerMaster 650W Gold Power Supply, EVGA nVidia 750Ti (2 Gb), 8 Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM (2 x 4 Gb) - there old drive once I have transferred all the Windows and Office Licences will get Zorin 12 on the hot bay drive from the old machine so you will have to wait peeps!

You never do disapoint do you Swarf? Your dedication is admirable and appreciated as always. I too will have a lot of work ahead of me with installing Zorin on two computers, with one being the file server that will require physical drive replacement as well. But I just found out about a major deal breaker glitch with the ultimate paid installer crashing at ubiquity, and I am like, seriously? So lets hope that issue can get fixed ASAP, as I can't justify purchasing Zorin until the installer has been fixed.

Hi, not got round to doing an install yet of Ultimate but will let you know in due course - You checked the md5sum? You made sure that the drive to be installed to was unmounted? Did you use an 'automatic' install? I always go for the 'something else' method for solid install.

1. Create Primary partition for '/' of 30720 Mib (30 Gb) for the root partition, formatted to ext4

2. Create an 'extended partition' - at the END create the swap area of 4096 Mib (4 Gb) - all that is left BEFORE it formatted to ext4 fs and marked as '/home'

Then install with GRUB on sda1.
