Installing Linux into a specific partition

Multibooting more than one Linux operating system (OS) can help you compare precisely how each works on your PC. While installing a Linux OS, you might wish to install it into a specific partition on your hard disk or solid-state drive (SSD). This document can help you create a new logical partition and then install a new Linux OS into it.

Authors note: In my experience, multibooting Linux operating systems works best with Ubuntu and Ubuntu-based operating systems.

Creating a new logical partition
You can add a new Linux OS to a PC on which you have already installed at least one other OS. For example, your multiboot configuration might include two partitions and an extended partition, as follows:
  • Partitions /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 contain an MS Windows 7 OS.
  • Extended partition /dev/sda3, contains three logical partitions for Linux. Allow at least 20 GB for each Linux OS.
  • Logical partition /dev/sda5 contains your Ubuntu Linux OS.
  • Logical partition /dev/sda6 contains the Linux swap file. Note: Regardless how many Linux operating systems you plan to install, you need only one swap partition (approximately 2 GB).
  • Logical partition /dev/sda7 contains your Linux Mint OS.
You need to create a new logical partition before you can install a third Linux OS into the above example configuration. As shown in Figure 1, you can use the Gnome Partition Editor (GParted) to create a new logical partition, such as /dev/sda8.
Figure 1 - Creating a new logical partition, /dev/sda8.
Installing Linux into a root partition
While installing Linux into a specific logical partition you must define that partition as root. To install a new Linux OS into your new logical partition, do the following:
  1. Download an ISO image file of the Linux OS that you wish to install, and then burn it to a DVD to create a live disc. Alternatively, you can use an ISO image to create a live usb drive.
  2. Boot the live disc and then begin installing your new Linux OS. When you see an Installation-type window similar to Figure 2, select Something else, which lets you install your new Linux OS into your new logical partition.
  3. Click Continue to display a window to similar to Figure 3, select (highlight) your new logical partition, and then double-click it to display an Edit-partition window as shown in Figure 4.
  4. In the Use-as dropdown menu, select Ext4 journaling file system.
  5. Checkmark the Format the partition box.
  6. In the Mount-point dropdown menu, select "/" to define your new logical partition as root.
  7. Click OK to close the Edit-partition window, and then click Install now. Note: Do not try to skip steps 4 through 7. Omitting them displays an error message, "No root file system is defined. Please select this from the partitions menu." For more information, see Ask Ubuntu.
  8. Install your new Linux OS and then reboot your PC to display a Grand Universal Boot (GRUB) menu similar to Figure 5. In this example, Zorin OS 6 is the new Linux OS. Note: If your GRUB menu does not display, you can restore it through an open-source Boot Repair CD.
    Figure 2 -  On the Installation Type menu, you select "Something else" if you
    wish to create a partition into which you can install your new Linux OS.

    Figure 4 - Double-clicking your new logical
    partition displays an Edit-partition window.
    Figure 5 - Your GRUB menu should include your new Linux OS, such as Zorin OS 6.

    Lean vs Overweight Post Breakfast Skipping Binge is Overweight Specific Lean Subjects Reduce Both Energy 26 Sugar Intake 14 When They Skip Breakfast

    It always hits the (already) big ones.
    A recent study that was conducted by a group of researchers from the Roehampton University, and the Universities of Northampton and Hull in London took an interesting and totally overdue approach to dispel the myths that revolve around the anti-obesity effects of breakfast. In the said study, a team of researchers recruited 37 participants who were assigned to one out of four groups on the basis of their body mass index (BMI) - normal weight BMI <25 kg/m² | or overweight/obese BMI > 25 kg/m² | habitual breakfast eaters | habitual breakfast omitters.

    Subsequently, even the latter, i.e. the breakfast eaters were requested  to  eat  breakfast  for  an  entire  week. The BREAKFAST week was followed by a one week wash-out and an entire  week during which the subjects had to omit breakfast.

    Does the Break- Fast-Myth Break?

    Breakfast? (Un?) Biased Review
    Over the course of the whole study period, all subjects hat do keep detailed 7-day food diaries, reporting what was consumed and the timing of consumption were completed for each breakfast condition.
    Figure 1: Lean (left) and overweight (right) subjects react very different to breakfast skipping (Reeves. 2014)
    As the data in Figure 1 already reveals, the total energy intake was significantly higher during the breakfast than the no breakfast week. But just as the scientists say, the present study did also reveal a "significant effects of timing on energy intakes": More energy was consumed during the afternoon in the no breakfast week compared to the breakfast week.

    Timing and body weight, both make a difference!

    In general, overweight participants consumed greater amounts of  energy than normal weight  participants (surprise ;-) in the early evening - the effect was even more pronounced for those of them who were regular breakfast omitters and thus used to feasting in the afternoon / evening.

    Overall, this sounds as if having breakfast regularly was a very good idea, but unlike some people want to make you believe, the total energy intake does count. The same is yet also true for the amount of sugar, which skyrocketed in the overweight subjects in the no breakfast week. Running around on empty and being unable to tap into their affluent energy depots on the hips and around the waist, the insulin resistant (dont tell me about "healthy obesity!") overweight part of the study participants gravitated towards readily available energy intake.
    Table 1: Mean sugar and micronutrient intakes in breakfast and no-breakfast conditions (Reeves. 2014)
    Bottom line: Paired with the reduced folate and iron intake in the non-breakfast week, the previously outlined results of the study at hand highlight once more the practical value of having breakfast for the average American who is neither willing nor able to track his energy and macronutrient intake on a daily basis. In a controlled diet scenario,  on the other hand, lean individuals have no reason to eat breakfast, if they feel that intermittent fasting (=breakfast skeeping) helps them to stick to their planned energy intake.

    If you take another look at the data in Table 1 to the right, you will after all realize that the lean study participants were able to live of their fat stores and did not have to resort to Snickers, Twinkies and *bs* "protein bars" with a sugar content of 85% - the sugar intake of the habitual breakfast eaters decreased significantly by 31% while their fibre intake remained stable in conjunction with the 26% reduction in energy intake this alone should have been enough to she a couple of pounds of body fat... So what? Good bye "healthy" breakfast cereals ;-)
