I have a 40 GB hard drive and I am in the process of partitioning it and reinstalling Windows ME in expectation of installing Patatoe 2.2r3 when I receive the CDs from Cheapbytes. I have been generally trying to follow directions provided in Linux Partitioning mini-FAQ by Karsten Self and in Installing Debian 2.2 documentation.
So far I have created on my first HD (39 GB total) one FAT-16 partition with 30 MB slated for LILO and possibly DOS. One FAT-32 26 MB extended partition consisting of two logical drives: one 2 GB the other 24 GB. My plan is to install Windows ME in the 2 GB partition and use the 24 GB partition for Windows applications. There is about 12 GB free remaining space on first HD which I am planning to use for Debian. Will debian be able to partition and format this free disk space at time of installation process? Also in Karsten Self's mini-FAQ on partitioning he refers to creating 3 primary and 1 logical partitions. Using fdisk I was only able to create one primary and one extended partition per hard drive. Am I doing something wrong? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Auctions - buy the things you want at great prices http://auctions.yahoo.com/
