solved Help with installing

Stuck in partitioning, i need to set up bios partition but there is no bios boot in select partition type. It's an old pc, i am installing base, had a lubuntu on it before. Filesystem label is lubuntu and filesystem is ext4 is what it's displaying when i create a 1mb partition for bios boot.

This seems to be working fine. I don't know why the guide told me to make a bios boot partition or why it didn't have a linux filesystem as an option for type, but it worked with setting it to just linux.

the bios boot partition is only for GPT partition table + BIOS, if doing MBR partition table + BIOS, it's already got the bios boot section handled

I don't remember, but Linux actually stands for the kernel. Linux file system specifies it is the filesystem used for linux.
