Disk partition problem
Hi all,
I have very basically question about disk partitions,
please don't flame me but direct me where can I RTFM.
MS-DOS fdisk (6.22) allow me to make only one
primary partition and only one extended (possible
with a few logical inside it). Linux fdisk (slackware 3.0)
allow me to make up to four primary partitions.
But I have 1.3GB disk and I want at least 3-4 partitions
for DOS and 3-4 for Linux. Can I do it? I know that
bootable dos partiton and swap and root Linux partitions
must be primary. But rest of partitions may be any type
(does it correct?).
BTW when I make two dos partitions (primary and extended)
and run Linux fdisk it allow me only two additional
partitions (that means it recognizes dos primary and dos extended
like two primary partitions). Does it correct or I do
something wrong?
Thanks,
