If you see the GRUB boot menu you should see the following:
  • 'Try or Install Xubuntu'
  • 'Xubuntu (safe graphics)'
  • 'OEM install (for manufacturers)'
  • 'Test memory' (only on BIOS systems)
  • The system boots properly and loads the installer displaying the Welcome dialog with language selection and 'Try Xubuntu' and 'Install Xubuntu' buttons
    Click on the release notes hyperlink to confirm that a browser launches and you are taken to the release notes discourse page.
    Click on the Install Xubuntu button
    The 'Keyboard layout' screen appears
    The proposed keyboard corresponds with your keyboard
    Select your keyboard layout and click on Continue
    The 'Updates and other software' screen is displayed
    On the screen 'Updates and other software', note the availability of the following components
    Available options should represent the state of your system accurately
    • (If network is available) 'Download updates while installing Xubuntu'
    • (If on a 'laptop') 'Is plugged to a power source'
    • 'Install third-party software...' option available
    Click on the Continue button
    The 'Installation type' screen is displayed
    Select Something Else
    A screen showing the current hard disks and partition layouts is displayed
    Select the drive you wish to partition and use the Add '+', Change 'Change...', and Delete '-' buttons to create your desired scheme
    The screen updates showing your desired partitions and mount points
    Once you have your required partitioning scheme laid out, click on the Install Now button
    The 'Where are you?' screen is displayed
