I have a Gigabyte GA Z97MX gaming 5 I just rebuilt in a new case. It has currently 1809 Win 10 Pro, on a Samsung 850 Pro inside of an Enermax dual SSD hot-swap enclosure. The Mojave install is on a Samsung NVME M.2 inside of an Aquacomputer Kryro M.2 PCIE adapter. The Old Sierra install is on the other Samsung 850 Pro inside the hot swap, will be the Ubuntu 18.10 install. I am using most current Clover for the Mojave and Windows and they are working flawlessly. I have a Ubuntu 18.10 flash installer that boots and I used Rufus to make the install using UEFI and GPT. My question is the formatting and installing of Grub to the Ubuntu drive which is now GPT HFS+.
Should I use the Ubuntu installer be run from the desktop or Gparted or both in a particular order?
What is the exact procedure for formatting? (the 18.10 Ubuntu screens are different now from what has been posted previously)
Is the formatting supposed to be EXT3?
It should be Normal installation with Install 3rd party Kext checked?
Installation Type should be: "Something else" as it finds no previous OS's, even though there is a Sierra install on the SSD in the Hotswap and Mojave 10.14.3 on the NVME drive? (Not "Erase Disk" and "install Ubuntu" as it may bork my NVME Mojave install drive I do not want to touch!?)
If the Sierra drive is HFS+ GPT now will the proper partition scheme be installed if you double click the highlighted HFS+ partition and change to Ext3 journalling? or, must the drive be formatted with Gparted first and then the installer started? (EXT3 journalling formatting)
Is the bootloader install location the same drive (partition) as the UbubutuOS install?
Is there something that must be set in Cover using the Clover Configurator to allow Clover to see Grub?
Step by Step would be helpful. The Stickky's need to be updated.
