I was just trying trying to follow it, but with no understanding about how it actually works.

ESP was disabled, the installation went perfectly now!

But if install the second distro I lose the first one, don't if they are overwriting the esp or the boot partition

sda1 fat32 with the esp flag
sda2 boot (ext4)
sda3 swap (not in use for now)
sda4 MX18
sda5 Second System to be installed later
...

What the minimum size for the fat32 and boot partitions?
