Advice on partitioning
I need some advice on how to add a distro to my hard disk. Mandrake is using 25gb of 80gb. 1 primary and 1 extended with 2 logicals. I cant add any more extended or logical partitions as it is but possibly need to extend the extended to include the whole disk, but I'm not sure. I've had a look at fdisk, cfdisk, and parted. I'd like to add slackware and possibly another distro but as I said I'm not sure how to set up the partitions. Mandrake 10.1 is set up to use root, swap and home. I also looked at harddrake but couldn't unmount the partitions.
It was while trying to add slackware that I found I was unable to add an extended partition, only primary. Any advice appreciated, thanks.
