Hi all,
yesterday i finally partitioned my hard drive and created a primary dos
partition and an extended partition. the extended partition now has about 110M
space. when trying to install linux and crate the partition i realized
i had to make a swap partition too! does this mean i'll have to recreate everything?
can i just make an extended partition from linux's fdisk with /dev/hda2
and then use the doinstall /dev/hda2 /dev/hda3 /swap ? i guess the main
thing i'm trying to ask is that will i have to recrate the DOS
partition or can i just continue and the fdiak sohouldn't corrupt the
DOS partition?
thanks! and again, e-mail replies preferred so we don't bog down
the newsgroup!
