Next step is to select software. Just took defaults, we can add anything extra later.
Next, shows the disk that will be overwritten for the OS. And the following screen basically asks “Are you sure?”
Click Finish to start installing the system. Takes about an hour or so. After last reboot, have to configure. This is done automatically at boot time. It reboots once or twice during this process.
Now go through local settings.
Once that’s done, set up all our other disks. This probably should have been done in the boot process, but I’ve never been able to do it correctly.
