First thing. If you are planning to install Linux Within the DOS extended
partition: It won't work You need to use PM to resize your extended
partition leaving an area of free space to which you will install Linux.
I, myself, was not aware of the installation bug until yesterday. The
problem occurs only if you install in Automatic Mode. You should be
perfectly safe if you install in Expert Mode.
