------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-04-09 17:25 ------- Ext3 is nothing but ext2 with journaling. The partition tables have no place to store whether journaling is on or off, so ext2=ext3 in the tables. I've never done any Mandrake install without setting at least one mountpoint for a HPFS partition, and I've never seen any marked as anything except 0x07. The installation formatter ALWAYS checks the box to format a HPFS partition, while for some reason I think it does't even list a NTFS partition in the format list. Not setting a mountpoint for HPFS is a workaround, but I don't like it. It's easier to remember to fix a broken fstab entry than to remember to add a missing one.

As a result, the install program wanted to format it. Furthermore, when I said "No" to the checking, the install failed because that partition couldn't be mounted. In order to get the install to ignore that partition, I had to use the "Create New Partitions" rather than the "Use existing Partitions" partitioning option. With "Create New Partitions", I was able to get it to ignore the HPFS partition by not giving it any mount point.
