Well, you CAN create it with Linux FDISK as well. Just tell
it you want it to be an extended dos partition, either type
5 ("Extended") or type f (Win9x "extended/lba) Granted,
I've never created anything except a primary DOS partition
using Linux FDISK, but if you create a standard "DOS"
partition (type 6) you can always re-do it with DOS fdisk
if you don't like it <G>
