 When you get to the window for disk setup, you will choose **Erase Disk and Install Ubuntu** to perform a full format/installation with Ubuntu as the ONLY OS on the drive.

This is **up to you**, you will choose whichever drive you want Ubuntu to be installed on. Ideally you will choose an **SSD of at least 64GB** or more, to install your Ubuntu installation. Anything smaller and you'll have issues with Qortal running on the same drive, unless you run in topOnly mode for the core. Larger is better. :) When you get to the window for disk setup, you will choose **Erase Disk and Install Ubuntu** to perform a full format/installation with Ubuntu as the ONLY OS on the drive.
