Hi
Just got an hp stream 13 laptop with a 32 GB emmc drive . It came preloaded
with windows 8, which we upgraded to windows 10. Also purchased a 32 GB
micro sd card along side. This is where I hope to install Ubuntu
The windows emmc card is quite complicated. See the attached screen image ,
where gparted shows the exact config. (on An aside the recovery partition
for windows is equivalent to an almost fully loaded Linux OS running) .

my question is regarding the /boot partition. Should I and Can i install
this to the 260 MB partition that exists on the windows Partition. Or
should I create a new /boot on the microSD which will the Linux drive.
My partition plan for the microSD is as follows
<http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=202077#>/boot - 250 MB
swap - 2 GB
/root - 11 GB
/home - 15 or 16 GB (basically the balance)
all this does not add up to 32 GB but thats the math - because the drive
says 32 GB but is actually 29 GB)
look forward to your advice
thanks
ram
