Heh... okay, getting there... one thing at a time
Alright, I'm in cfdisk right now, and I can set my free space to a new partition, called /dev/hda3 now. However, this raises another question, which I'd like clarified before I bite the bullet and write to the partition table
I now would have three partitions, but /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda3 would both be Type: Linux. Shouldn't hda3 be Linux Extended? Can I really have two Linux types on my system?
Oh (groan) one last thing, hda1 doesn't have the bootable flag set. Should I set it?
In closing, of course, thank you thank you thank you thank you (ad nauseum)
