I have recently put a new computer into service. It is a Dell Vostro
3910 running Windows 11. In addition to the C:\ drive , I have a 2TB SSD
for Linux which the OS found as the D:\ drive.
The installation went as I have come to expect, until it got to
formatting the drive. I was presented with a long list of type of
partition. I tried gpt and started going around in circles. When asked
if that was my choice i selected 'Yes' and was presented with the list
of possible partitions again. At this point I aborted the installation.
I have been using Debian for about twenty years now, and have never
encountered this situation. I would appreciate some guidance.
Thanks in advance.
