Did you set the label of your Linux partition as quot;/quot;?

thank you for your help, i can continue with a new error, but i want to try it at its peek

You have not selected any partitions for use as swap space. Enabling swap space is recommended so that the system can make better use of the available physical memory, and so that it behaves better when physical memory is scarce. You may experience installation problems if you do not have enough physical memory.

If you do not go back to the partitioning menu and assign a swap partition, the installation will continue without swap space.

is my error

Sounds like you have a root partition now.  Good.

How did you partition the drive?  Did you create a swap partition?  If not, delete your new Linux partition and create a new smaller one (labeled as quot;/quot;) and use the leftover space to create a swap partition.  It should be equal to or larger than the amount of RAM.
