UPDATE 6:
Just to say I've edited Section A of the tutorial (18.10.15) to include the following two points...
1. The tutorial worked very well for a LL2.6/Win10 UEFI dual-boot set-up
2. With LL2.6/Win10, I appeared to have no problem setting up a separate /home partition for LL. I quite like to have a separate home partition so that configuration files are preserved during upgrading - that way I don't lose my Firefox bookmarks and other settings. If you install LL as root only, then you will lose these and other settings.
3. I haven't found a /swap partition necessary in my previous set-ups, when swappiness has been reduced from the default of 60 to a value of 10, as it never seems to get used. So now that the system runs very snappily anyway, with a solid-state drive, I have omitted a swap partition from the set-up.
Cheers
Mike

2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work
