Slackware Linux on a logical partition

tooparam · 11-28-2005, 12:47 PM

Dear Sir,

I've installed Slackware-10.2(Linux-main) on a primary partition and Linux-Swap on a logical partition without any problem (Intel PC).

Can I install Slackware-10.2(Linux-main) on a logical partition as well.

Will it work / Is it possible.

Welcome to LQ!

Slackware will run on logical or primary partitions.

Code:

bruce@silas:~$ /sbin/fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
