Install questions 2
by tex1171 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YJYE)
My computer is a dual boot running Windows 10 and openSUSE.I want to install Mint. During the install it ask if I want to install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware,Flash MP3 and other media. What is the software and do I need to install at the time of installation or should I wait? And if I click yes what does turning off Secure Boot do to my computer? Will it affect the Windows Boot Manager and keep from booting into Windows?
My system is a Dell 5558 with a 500 gig HD. I partitioned it with 150 gigs for Linux and the other 350 gigs for Windows. When it ask what to do since it currently has the Windows Boot Manager which option should I pick to keep it a dual boot? It does not offer the install along Windows option probably because it has openSUSE on it. I choose Something Else and showed my the partitions on my HD. Ii not techie enough to understand. Here is what it shows.
sad1(fat32) 524.3 MB
sda2(unknown) 132.2 MB
sda3(ntfs) 822.GB
sda6(btrfs) 160.4 GB which I assume is where SUSE is installed
sda7(linux-swap) 2.1 GB I know what that is
sda4(ntfs)900.7 MB
sda5(ntfsd) 13.3 GB
How do get it install on the existing Linux partition replacing openSUSE and not Windows? Thanks
