hello, I was interested in trying out Alpine today as I'd= heard it had superior security
but I got hung u= p with trying to configure a manual partition I had set up for GRUB

I'd selected a "data" metho= d as I wanted everything to be loaded to RAM...
= but when warned if I wanted to format my MBR setup I had 2 OSs and a free E= XT4 partition pre-configured for Alpine on...
I = chose "n" and it just quit rather than allowing me to manually assign parti= tions...

I was expec= ting a prompt for manual partitioning and assignment similar to how Void ha= ndles things.

I'd se= nd a visual to follow for how I usually pre-partition my drives, but you gu= ys seem to not accept png attachments...
...so I'll just do this instead= :

MBR (msdos): [swap] reserved [ext2][ [ext4= Alpine][ext4 Void] reserved ][ext4 Recovery]
sda1 (swap): 4 GiB
reserved
sda2 (ext2): 512 MiB (Recovery boot/)
sda4 (extended):

sda6    (ext4): 50 GiB Void (Void Linux /)

reserved
sda3 (ext4): 30 GiB R= ecovery (Void Linux /)

your wiki is also not well structured for helping me set this up as such= ...

such as XMPP or at least Matr= ix??
