did you partition the rest into more than one partition i.e. /usr /home etc.?
did you use reiserfs? i installed lm7.2 onto a machine and thoughtlessly
forgot to deselect the reiserfs package on installation and only realised i
had done this when using partition magic i noticed that i couldn't
The problem most likely stems from the way the partitions were made.
Use the SysCom partitioning tool to delete the extended partition and then
to create it again with however many logical linux partitions you choose
then during the Mandrake installation use DiskDrake only for mounting and
