Partman displayed my hard disk correctly. 2. I have chosen a manual partitioning. 3. Partman displayed my current partitioning. 4. I created successfully a partition in the unused space: primary 8 GB, ext3 on / 5. Partman did not allow to create an other partition (for swap) in the rest of the unused space. I suspect partman is unable to create a logical partition in the free space (in that particular situation). (Having a good bunch of RAM, that does not hurt me to much).
