Install Linux in Toshiba u940 series with 32gb ssd and 750gb hdd I would like to have boot code in ssd only
I would like to install Linux in Toshiba u940 series laptop with 32gb ssd and 750 go hdd I would like to boot from ssd only so that /boot is in ssd a uefi also in ssd kindly give detailed description for installing
put /boot on a seperate partition, which is situated on the ssd.
if you don't give more details, we cannot give more details either. i guess you want to install more than just the linux kernel? like a distribution? which one?
32GiB is sufficient for a normal Linux installation (root, swap and home partitions), so I would just install Linux Mint to the SSD (say 20GiB for /, 4GiB for swap, 8GiB for /home.
Then, once installed, format the HDD as ext4 and set up folders there to store your videos, music, photos etc.
