Setting up partitions
---------------------
If all you want is Lubuntu is on your is Lubuntu you can select the erase disk which will delete all daata on the disk which is why having your data backed up before this point is extremely important. IF you choose to do this you can continue on to user setup.
.. warning::
Erasing your entire disk or partiion may cause you to lose data so please backup beforehand.
If all you want is Lubuntu on your machine, you can select the erase disk. This will format the disk and **delete all data on the disk**, which is why having your data backed up before this point is extremely important. IF you choose to do this you can continue on to user setup.
If you have had a previous linux install and want to put the entire disk or just replace an entire partition you will need to unmount them. In this subcase running `sudo swapoff -a` will unmount them and any partitions with data mounted can be unmounted through pcmanfm-qt.
Manual partioning
-----------------
.. warning::
Erasing your entire disk or partition may cause you to lose data so please backup beforehand.
If you wish to manual set up partitions as an advanced option you will have to choose which filesystem you want. A filesystem controls how your filesystems are accessed at lower levels on the disk. If you are booting your computer in UEFI mode a more modern firmware compared to BIOS you will need to create an EFI system partition see `http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_partition` for more detail to create this partition you will need a fat32 filesystem with the ESP flag with to be mounted at /boot/efi/ under the mount point. You will also need a / or root filesystem several filesystems included for Lubuntu are ext4, xfs, and btrfs. If you have had a previous linux install and want to put the entire disk or just replace an entire partition you will need to unmount them.
.. image:: partitioning.png
To create a partition you need to press the create partition button which will bring up a dialog. The filesystem field is a drop down menu to select which filesystem you want. You also need to select where you want to mount the partition which you need at least one / partition and if you are booting an efi system you will also need a /boot/efi mounted partition. Another common option is if you have a want to have your data all on its own partition which can even be on its own seperate physical disk this can be mounted at /home.
If you wish to perform advance partitioning please refer the Advanced partitioning section.
User Setup
----------
The user setup section creates a field to open your own name and then what username you want to use when you log in. The next input field is for the hostname of your computer. The final field of this entry is to enter your password twice to make sure you have not mistyped it into your box and then reboot to an install you cannot log into as this is a way more frustrating feeling than entering a password twice. Pressing the next button will give you a summary screen of the settings before install and if this is what you want press the install button to install everything after confirming in the dialog.
The user setup section creates a user profile, consisting of your own name and the username you will use to log in. The next input field is the hostname of your computer. The final field is your password. Enter your password twice to make sure you have not mistyped it. Pressing the next button will give you a summary screen, showing you the settings before the install begins. Once you have checked the summary click the install button to begin the installation.
The Install
-----------
The installer will show a slideshow while the installer writes to the partition and installs Lubuntu. Once Lubuntu is installed you have a checkbox to reboot now after your Lubuntu is installed and is now finished.
The Lubuntu installer provides some useful information while the installer is running. Once Lubuntu is installed you have a checkbox to reboot now after your Lubuntu is installed and is now finished.

Advanced partitioning
-----------------------
If you have had a previous linux install and want to put the entire disk or just replace an entire partition you will need to unmount them. In this case running `sudo swapoff -a` will unmount them and any partitions with data mounted can be unmounted through pcmanfm-qt.
Manual partitioning
-----------------------
If you wish to manual set up partitions, as an advanced option you will have to choose which file-system you want. A file-system controls how your files are accessed at lower levels on the disk. If you are booting your computer in UEFI mode a more modern firmware compared to BIOS you will need to create an EFI system partition see `http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_partition` for more detail to create this partition you will need a FAT32 file-system with the ESP flag with to be mounted at /boot/efi/ under the mount point. You will also need a root (/) file-system, several file-systems included for Lubuntu are Ext4, XFS, and Btrfs.
You can create partition by clicking the button which will bring up a dialog. The file system field is a drop down menu, select which file-system you want. You also need to select where you want to mount the partition. which you need at least one root (/) partition and if you are booting an EFI system you will also need a /boot/efi mounted partition. Another common option is to have all your data on its own partition, which can even be on its own separate physical disk this can be mounted at /home.

Chapter 4.3 Managing Software Sources
============================================
Occasionally you may need to change the setting of you software sources. This could involve:
- changing update settings like update frequency, notification of new releases,
- adding or removing sources such as PPAs
- changing download server
- etc,
Usage
------
You can navigate the Software Sources using the tabs.
- Ubuntu Software contains settings involving the downloading of software from Ubuntu repositories. Here you can disable proprietary software and select a download server among other things.
- Other software allows you to add, remove or edit other software sources. Here you can manage remote repositories (PPAs) and CD-ROM repositories.
- Updates allows you set which software updates you would like to subscribe to, in this case Security, Recommended, Pre-released (unstable), and Unsupported updates. You can also set how frequently your system will automatically check for updates and what actions it should take, namely notify you, download (without notification), or install updates. You can also specify which releases you would like to be notified of, Normal Releases, Long term releases or Never.
- Authentication manages key files which ensure your downloads are not compromised, basically ensuring you are download from a reliable source and your download has not been intercepted.
- Submitting statistical data will improve the Ubuntu experience allowing developers to know which software you are downloading anonymously. We urge you to enable this feature but it is disabled by default as Lubuntu has an "Opt-in" philosophy.

=======================
The command line is a different way of interfaceing with your computer that while not nesecary to learn can be helpful if you take the time to learn it.
The command line is text interface to your computer and an alternative to graphical user interfaces like windows. It typically involves typing text commands into a terminal to perform some operation. Although not necessary to learn, it can be helpful. The terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) is a command line running in a window.
One important way to learn about the command line of each command that can be used in Lubuntu is a bit beyond the scope of the manual but to learn more about a command and all of its options run the following fi you wanted to learn more about the df or disk free command
An exhaustive tutorial on the command line is a bit beyond the scope of the manual.

- Fixing broken installs.
- Backing up files
A good example of when you would use a live session is if your computer turns on and won't boot, you can run the live session. You could then mount the disk and backup all of your pictures or send an email. If your hard drive or SSD is no longer working, you can boot a live session and then order replacment parts. You also can feel free to try different things out in a live session.
