• I used Rufus to make my USB persistence for elementaryOS. I boot from the USB fine. It's when I get to the 3 options on elementaryOS. 1 being the demo, 2 being install / wipe, and 3 being custom install. Which do I choose, and if I choose custom install. How do I get it to install on the FAT32

  My boot option are #1 Ubuntu and #2 Windows Boot Manager.
