I just got another computer, and I'm stalled in the partitioning
department. I decided to forgo LVM, so I have some questions.

Does it matter in which order I create the partitions? Like, should I
create /boot first?

On the 'Add partition' window is a checkbox: 'Force to be a primary
partition'. What's this? (It's not mentioned in the Installation
docs.) Do any partitions need it?

See "man fdisk" or "pinfo parted" for an in depth explanation.
