<div>2. You can only have 4 total primary partitions, including
a partition designated for holding logical partitions. This
has been true since MS/PC-DOS 3.x. This would give you your /

more possible primary partition. </div>
<div>3. Yes, you can put /swap in a logical partition. I have
done so.</div>
<div>4. You can't designate any encryption until AFTER you have
successfully partitioned and formatted the partition.</div>

I am still struggling with this setup of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my new
empty 3,000 GB hard drive. It was suggested that I use GPARTED on
the Live DVD version to create the partition structure. I ran into
2 problems: (1) The new and improved version of gparted does not
allow me to set the mount points! (2) all of the partitions that I
created were assigned into the /media directory (I believe it was
media-it's been a couple of days.Isn't this something that everyone
goes through? Why is this not laid out clearly on Ubuntu's site? I
assume it is, and I am just missing it.<br>
