It’s been a long time since I last installed Linux on a two hard-drive system, so take this advice as “likely not necessary, but will probably fix your issue”
The installer asks whether or not you want to “replace” the existing OS or install alongside. And if you’re fairly new to linux (like I was at the time) it can be tricky to see at a glance which hard-drive you want to install it to and which you don’t.
So to be doubly cautious and make sure that didn’t happen, I simply unplugged my secondary harddrive during the install so that the installer would automatically be reading the correct one. Then all I had to do was choose “replace” or “install alongside” without worrying about anything else.
The drawback to that was, once the install was complete and I re-attached my second drive, I had to configure it to auto-mount and do some work on that, but at least my computer was working.
Is this a desktop computer ? Two hard disks can make things more difficult. How about taking the power cord temporarily off from the larger disk, then install, and if it’s successful then turn it off and give the 2nd disk power again, and add that 2nd disk manually to the fstab as e.g. /opt/ as mount point.
There was extensive trade between Scandinavia and the Mediterranean, and some of the vikings are believed to have been Muslims from the Middle East and North Africa (“viking” meant armed seafarer, and was a profession and not an ethnicity). Meanwhile, Norse and Icelandic mercenaries worked as the Byzantine empire’s Varangian Guards (they were favoured for their courage, and equally importantly, lack of connection to domestic political intrigues).
If only there were people who study ancient ecosystems based on evidence that has been left behind. We could read what they have to say and potentially learn something. They would probably debate amongst themselves, try to come up with models that best explain the available evidence, and adjust to new evidence as it is obtained.
It’s like some hilarious half-baked plan at my DnD table.
Mage: I know, I’ll use the magic item I found to attack the Lich! DM: The one that you found in the Lich’s crypt? Mage: Yes. DM: The one with the backstory about how the Lich made it himself? Mage: Uh-huh. DM: The one where he spent three centuries researching and crafting it to dominate the world of the living? The one that has the inscription: “For the master’s tool will never dismantle the master’s house.” Mage: … oh. DM: Yeah… Mage: I’m in danger.
