I was, I screwed around again last night and set it up again, using 
gparted, until everybody was happy.  So now it looks like this:

gene@coyote:~/Downloads$ sudo parted /dev/sdb unit s print
[sudo] password for gene: 
Model: ATA ST1000VX000-1CU1 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 1953525168s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: gpt

Number  Start       End          Size         File system     Name  Flags
 1      4130s       2072384s     2068255s     ext4
 2      2072385s    104470694s   102398310s   ext4
 3      104470695s  141334694s   36864000s    linux-swap(v1)
 4      141334695s  1953520064s  1812185370s  ext4

gdisk says its ok, has a protective MBR but is using GPT. So probably the 
thing to do is get another disk, install to it, then copy it all to a good 
disk. That would at least get it onto this disk without the installers 
partitioner touching it.  Worth the effort?  At this point I am not sure.

Nah, she was 20 something and toothless, so we had her take a long nap 
about 3 years ago.  So much as I'd like to, I can't blame it on the cat. 
The woof has COPD, and no longer can care for a pet. I might get a dog 
again if she falls over first.  We had a Sheltie for about 10 years, 
excellent pet but the short life surprised us both.  I still catch myself 
setting a cereal or ice cream bowl on the floor for him to cleanup, 10+ 
years later.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
