When I install Ubuntu by using something else and create the partitions
What should I usually do is select the mount point as root ie /
I wonder what are the other mount options used for and what can is the best option for booting along with the windows 8 and windows 7
The something else allows you to mount things like /home to other drives/partitions. I use it all the time to create a seperate /home partition so if I decide to change distros, I can keep all the stuff I have there. Help With Partitions
