Re: [Cooker] Problem initializing swap partition during install

The actual message reported on screen 3 (or whatever) is "Swap partition must be at least 40kb." This only occurs when an extended partition is used. If I manually allocate using only primary partitions, everything is fine. this is quite strange. can you tell more? Hats off to Mandrake! :)

[Cooker] Problem initializing swap partition during install
Hi, I could not help but notice that Hydrogen 7.1b has problems formatting the swap partition during the installation. Even using the "auto-allocate" option in diskdrake or selecting "automated" install, I get a message "Swap partition must be." The actual message reported on screen 3 (or whatever) is "Swap partition must be at least 40kb." This only occurs when an extended partition is used. If I manually allocate using only primary partitions, everything is fine. BTW, the inclusion of reiserfs during the install is *heaven*. In this day and age of $225 27GB hard drives, I don't know why everyone refers to journalling filesystems as being important for "enterprise only". Hats off to Mandrake! I've switched from Red to Blue... ;-) -Steve Bergman
