I used the mandrake-9.1 (final) installer to do the job (note that I am installing directly from ISO image on a hard-drive). 1. I chose custom partitioning. 2. I deleted both ext2 partitions and then created new ext3 partitions in their places (with the same size as the ext2 partitions). 3. Next, the installer wrote the new partition table to the MBR and gave this strange message that the changes will take effect only after a reboot. After this it actually rebooted too. And all this happenned without the installer formatting either partition !! 4. After the reboot I did a complete installation only to discover later that both the partitions have remained ext2 !! Lots of questions are raised by this strange behavior. Why reboot ? Also, why does it lie about the file system change ? The whole behavior makes no sense.
