This is a separate project, we'll call it laptop #3 with a single 256 GB SSD. I recently obtained this laptop and wondering how to further partition. I was able to successfully change from MSDOS -> GPT by live booting LM and using GParted, then I installed a fresh LM 19 xcfe. When installing I was unable to partition the drive to have separate / and /home partitions. I am wondering how I can best partition the drive at this point without doing a fresh install. Here is the output for fdisk -l
And here is inxi -Fxs
This is just a side laptop... and to @wizardfromoz NOT taking priority over my project with laptop #1
Code:
jlap4@jlap4-Q503UA:~$ sudo fdisk -l
