I don't remember exactly how the installer is built up. It's the fifth
screen or so. There you have the choice to format the whole disc and install
Ubuntu. There's also the choice "Something different". It shouldn't be hard
to find.

I'm talking about the 22.04 installer. I don't know about later versions.
