well, when I was installing my debian, I set up the disk as follow.

/dev/hda1   *         1        25    200781   83  Linux
/dev/hda2            26        50    200812+  83  Linux
/dev/hda3            51        75    200812+  83  Linux
/dev/hda4            76       269   1558305    5  Extended
/dev/hda5            76        91    128488+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda6            92       142    409626   83  Linux
/dev/hda7           143       269   1020096   83  Linux

this left about 7G on the free space as I want to be able to create a
partition when ever I want.
now that I want to try to set up vmware, I get into fdisk, but when I
tried to use "n" to add partition, it told me that no free space left.  I
think I am pretty sure that I can leave free space on the drive un-touched
since I done this before (unless I was dreaming)...so. can anyone tell me
where I am doing wrong..also, has anyone tried out vmware? looks really
nice...
