Dual boot? Using the whole disk or a specific partition? We need more information…
Hi, I am trying to achieve in the manjaro install is to have a small boot partition that will allow me to boot from using bios. The rest of the HDD will be BTRFS with a timeshift
sorry that I was not very clear with my question.

If I’m understanding correctly, the setup you’re wanting is similar to the one I’m using. Here is a screenshot showing my disk layout in gparted:
I did this in two steps:
- I set up my partitions in gparted, getting the sizes and layout the way I wanted them.
- I assigned mount points by selecting “Manual Partitioning” during the install process.
You can also set up the partitions in the installer, if you prefer.
EDIT:
More information about partitioning in a recent article here:

I do not have EFI My laptop does not support it so could I go with ext4/boot and follow the rest of the direction?

I believe so.
As I understand it, the EFI partition is only required for systems booting using EFI…
do i then create the sub volume after the install or is that taken care of during the installation?
sorry for all the question but i am new at this
thank you

The installation sets up a default subvolume scheme compatible with timeshift, which is also installed.
