Manual partioning
-----------------
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.
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.
