trisquel 11.0.1 iso
Installing from an usb stick on a hdd.
Hdd has 4 ext4 partitions. Each partition is 40gb.
During installation at installation
type I select something else.
Then a window named installation type displays.
One of the partitions listed is named /dev/sdb1 ext4 40gb.
How do I install trisquel on /dev/sdb1 such that
/dev/sdb2, /dev/sdb3 and /dev/sdb4 are left
alone? Thank you.

You can ask / to be on /dev/sdb1. If you want more partitions (typically a swap partition and/or a separate /home), you should remove /dev/sdb1 and create the desired partitions in the liberated space. All that can be done from the partitioning tool the "Something else" type of installation provides.
