Thread: Why partition options during 11.10 install make all the partitions NTFS & no ext3?

i purchased following netbook:

samsung n150 plus 1.66ghz 250gb 10.1-inch netbook (refurbished)

comes win7 starter, , in middle of installing 11.10 dual boot. @ window asking whether replace win7, opted instead partition editor. , default settings appear, divide hdd 4 partitions of type ntfs, respective sizes sda1 (windows recovery environment loader) 16 gb, sda2 (win7 loader) 104 mb, sda3 104 gb, sda4 128 gb. partition setting ubuntu partition, , why isn't designating type ext3 or ext4?

you have decide partition use purpose, manual partitioner asks set mount point partitions 1 mount point set "/" system partition.

same goes filesystem, choose 1 want use. have no idea why default ntfs on system (unless it's existing ntfs partition , didn't check box format partition...), offered ext4 default me.

edit: unless edited partition layout yourself, partitions see ones already existing on computer. manual partitioner doesn't give kind of suggested setup, manual , changes ones yourself.
