On my Harddrive I have a primary FAT-32 partition with win 98 on it. In
order to get space for Linux RedHat, I created a new extended partition
under Partition Magic. During the Linux installation process (Disk
Druid) I am asked to create a \root mount in a ext-2 like formated
partition.  Every time I try to Add a new ext-2 partition in order to
re-arrange the arrangements after deleting the former ext-2 partition,
Disk Druid shows up with a error message that says that there is �NOT
ENOUGH FREE SPACE". But I am sure there should be enough space......
The swap mount on the other side can be easily created. But I just can�t
make a root partition. Is there a way to do it at all? What do I have to
create first, and what do I have to fill in the gaps? Do I have to write
/ for the native partition and swap for the swap partition, right!?

Is it better to use a new seperate primary partition for Linux or can it
also be set up in a extended partition that contains a logical partition
inside?  I made it with a logical partition. Could this be the reason
for my problem with the native partition?
