Hi!
I installed Linux-Mandrake and Red Hat , version 6.0 as soon as they were
released. I partitioned my hard drives with both Disk Druid and Fdisk and
received the same results. All I got was a small boot partition and
everthing else dumped into over eight (8) GB of an extended partition with
multiple logical drives. This is not what I ordered. I wanted to have
three(3) primary partitions and one extended partition, into which I would
create as many logical drives as I saw fit for my installation.
I came to linux over a year ago because I tried to install a sound card in
Windoz 98 at IRQ 5 and DMA 1 and 5, and some son-of-a-bitch in Redmond WA had
decided that I could not use those settings.
In previous versions of Red Hat, Mandrake and SuSe I had no problem
partitioning the HD any way I chose. What gives?? Do we have a case of
"WE KNOW BETTER" or is there a reasonable explanation?
Is Linux going the way of MickeySoft? Or is this just Red Hat and Mandrake?
Perhaps someone who makes these decisions can reply?
Rusty
