Boot from the Linux Mint 19.2 installation flash drive and integrity check the installation media via the boot menu. If there are any errors then do not proceed to install. Wipe the flash media and attempt to copy the iso over again. Do not allow the installer to automatically configure the drive partitioning. Manually create an extended partition using nearly the entire disk less 256MB, then create four logical partitions. # Create a swap partition equal to your RAM size but no less than 4GB# Create ext4 root / for the first distribution# Create ext4 root / for the second distribution# Create ext4 /share which will be a common place both distributions can see. Maybe you won't need this to be very big, depending on whether or not your machine is LAN connected. I will be LAN connected so my share partition does not need to be very big. Consider the remaining space (RS) after subtracting the space you reserved for swap, /share and the 256MB, divide that by two, ( Distro = RS/2 ) to determine how much space for each of the two distributions. Here is the schema I used for a machine with a 500GB drive: Boot from the Linux Mint 19.2 installation flash drive and integrity check the installation media via the boot menu.
