With a machine with 32G in total: I'd be very tempted to: Use expert mode for the install Take the default for "everything in one partition" as a guideline - that should sort out booting with the EFI partition at the beinning. Resize the LVM partition to allow for your FAT partition at the end which I presume is for data transfer. If this is booting and running entirely from an external USB drive, be aware that it may be very slow - depending on the speed of the USB. The reason for "all in one" partitioning is that I have a similar setup on a physical machine which only has a 32G flash drive internally - unless you have to, don't second-guess the partitioner when faced with that amount of space. All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater
