However, when I got the above labels from Fdisk, I had to delete a large = chunk=20 of my pre-composed info that talked about a disk having max two partition= s,=20 primary and extended, and the extended holding logical partitions. My own= =20 setup contradicts this, and I can't even remember installing this system = its=20 that long ago.=20 What happened to the notion of extended partitions? Is this now obsolete = with=20 new IDE technology? Or just uncessary for linux, and still used by Window= s? Sid. |
