Hello KX'ers,
I'm running Mint 18.1 and trying to install KXStudio (32bit) alongside it, but at the partition menu, as file system, there's no "EXT4" option, only a list of others:
EXT3 Journaling File System
EXT2 File System
ReiserFS Journaling File System
btrfs Journaling File System
JFS Journaling File System
XFS Journaling File System
FAT16 File System
FAT32 File System
swap area
do not use this partition
Should I choose one of these?
It's on "/dev/sda2 - ext4" I want KXStudio, and I downloaded it from here http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Downloads#LiveDVD (KXStudio 14.04.2 Live-DVD - 32bit | Mirror #1 | Mirror #2)
No EXT4 option during installation

Re: No EXT4 option during installation
quick workaround:
1) choose ext3
2) when installation is done, edit /etc/fstab and remount your partitions as ext4
3) (optional) do e4defrag for affected partitions to apply all ext4 features to existing files. actually, there will be no difference if you have nothing but just installed system.
