Sorry if this question is too basic. I've been following several newsgroups for a while and haven't seen this situation addressed.
I have a 3.2 GB hard drive and 16-bit addressing, so it's partitioned into a C drive of about 2 GB and a D drive for the rest of the space. I'd like to keep Windows 95 on the C drive while I work on installing Linux on D. >From reading the installation instructions it sounded like I should create a Swap partition within "D." So I created a system floppy with the FIPS directory on it. Upon execution it displayed the partition table showing partition 1 consisting of 2047 MB and partition 2 consisting of 1047 MB. It asked which partition to split, and I chose "2." The resulting error message said: "Can't split extended partitions. FIPS can not yet split extended DOS partitions." What should I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Peter Christensen
