I ranked the mirrors first and all that, and prepartitioned and formatted the drives correctly, but the installer failed on un-mounting the drive where it kept the temp files, which is not the same one the EFI and OS were to be installed. I did set it up to mount on boot though, but just to hold media like music, graphics, and videos, and not yet populated.
I checked the NVMe but there was no temp folder nor any files (Blank), and on the other the OS is installed, but only partially.

Calamares will quit when the dialog closes.

So why do I need to check it if it’s already formatted (EXT4), and if I have to anyhow, then why is it even a choice, and not mandatory, no check needed/checked by default?
Anyhoo, I will run the installer again and see what happens. Wish me smooth sailing!
And make sure you have all needed partitions system needs to work too…
Like if you are on a modern efi system you need an efi partition fat32 flagged as boot and 1GB for systemd-boot or 512MB for grub …
I bought it all in increments due to having a low budget. I still want a wicked graphics card that can render the insane 3D fractals Mandelbulber 2 can make!
Asus now with their newest BIOS now has a 16 core Ryzen 9 on top of the list of compatible processors, and I’m going to save up for one! Droooooooooool!
Yeah, I can’t wait to find out just how fast the new drives I just got are!
I know all that, and did it, so it’s not the problem.
I have made many an fstab manually, but only to add additional drives on a working system, but never during install. This is the first time I decided to try that in order to see how they will be setup as for options and the dump and pass numbers.
Droooooooooool!
