There was a prompt for "format and use entire disk" - I think there was
probably a "setup custom format" or something like that as one of the
selections, but didn't really notice. Ubuntu skips most of the s/w
configuration setup during install, except for a prompt "download updates
during install". I used to be able to do configuration during setup, but
don't think it's there any more, except prompt to temporarily enable host
i/o cache (which should be done permanently after install). There were
settings to adjust disk and RAM sizes, but not CPU qty.
