Hello again, 

I forgot to mention that I'm not subscribed so please CC: me personally in all 
replies. 

I know that installation on extended partitions is not officially supported, 
that's why I'm asking for "unofficial" information. If I could choose I would 
of course had tried installation on a primary partition, but I had no 
alternative. I would either try installing it there, or not at all.

After all, I have read at various places about it being unsupported but doable 
(with no details anywhere, unfortunately). For example I quote the following: 

flag    Make the given partition table entry bootable. Only one entry can be 
marked bootable. If you wish to boot from an extended partition, you will 
need to mark the partition table entry for the extended partition as 
bootable.

Thanks,
