I have finally gotten a SATA 300GB HD and plan to multiboot w2k, XP, and Fedora.
The question is, what is the best way to partition the drive?
What I plan so far is:
p1: w2k, 25GB
p2: XP, 25GB
p3: /boot, 100MB
p4: Extended
/, 100GB
/app1, 50GB
/app2, 50GB
/app3, rest of available space minus swap
swap 2GB
But when I use the F8-LiveCD and custom partitioning gui,
I cannot see where I can create the extended filesystem
in p4 before I can create the logical drives of /, /app1,
/app2, and /app3?
Is it sufficient to simply not choose the 'Force to be a
primary partition' for p4?
Thanks!
