I have not tried to make a linux partition with anything past 7.2 but I
didn't find it a good idea to use DrakX. The program created a linux
partition as part of an extended Dos partition instead of shrinking the Dos
partition and making its own linux partition. Later examination with
various diagnostic utilities found funny errors in the partition tables,
which didn't seem to do anything bad but were worrisome. Maybe there is
nothing wrong with having a linux partition sit in the extended Dos
partition but it makes me nervous. I use a 3rd party utility to create
separate linux partitions and then use DrakX to reformat them to reiser or
whatever. maybe someone more knowledgeable about partitioning than me can
explain whether it really makes that much difference.
