Does someone have an idea what I can do to ensure a GPT installation? It is annoying it allocates an extra partition. Help is much appreciated!
I tried to install debian in export graphical mode. ANd it once again isntalled with MBR, and not GPT.
I could load option step, and I picked manually partition disks with gpt.
I also created manually the partitions.
It shows a message that an efi system was detected but it needs to add a copy of the efi content. ANd it asked if I want to force the efi installation.
It never asked anything about mbr or GPT. The disk is quite large also (2TB).
Below sda is my hard disk, to ignore. I installed on the usb drive sdc.
