Hi Alex et al,
I am using the GUI Installer.
I specified the partition (/dev/sda5) for the root (/) Mount Point with the File System set to ext4 and Format set to Yes.
I specified the partition (/dev/sda6) for the swap Mount Point with the File System set to swap and Format set to No.
Under Advanced Settings I made the following choices.
I checked Use UUID.
I selected Hard disk for the Installation type.
I selected /dev/sda for the Boot disk.
I checked UEFI boot.
I selected BFQ for the I/O scheduler.
When I clicked the Next button the following was displayed above UEFI boot.
MBR is not used with the UEFI bootloader
My Laptop currently has 3 systems on it. One is Windows 8.1 Professional and the other 2 are Manjaro. I am trying to replace one of the Manjaro systems.
Secure Boot is disabled.
GRUB is the bootloader that is being used.
What is wrong with the selections I have made?
Where is the English Installation Guide for the GUI Installer?
I see there is a French guide but it does not mention anything about UEFI in the section named Spécifier les points de montage.
fdisk -l produces the following.

Also, the installer is extremely slow in operation. My system has a Core i5-3230M CPU with 8GB RAM.
And, the Report a Bug utility doesn’t appear to work when clicking on the Send button.
Thanks, Michael.
