[mdlug] Installing Kubuntu on Windows 11 HP laptop

[R Kannan]

All,

Following up on my Kubuntu trial run, I tried installing. Kubuntu 
installer does not have seem to have an option to resize the bitlocker 
partion that the laptop came with as the installer does no recognize 
this partition.

There are basically four options:

Guided - use entire disk
Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM
Guided entire disk and set up encrypted LVM
Manual

When I select Manual it does not allow me to shrink the bitlocker partition.

Is wiping out the current windows OS the only way to install Kubuntu on 
this laptop? Also the kubuntu installer does not change anything in the 
partition table till I hit the final install button. Am I right?

Thanks
