I have made an annoying error when setting up my new computer.
I installed Gentoo then winXP and made it dual boot, all of which has
gone fine however when I did this I partitioned my disk as shown the
theory being that I would assign space as required after all
installation. Unfortunatly I made the 4 partitions all primary! and
now I cannot make more partitions to consume the extra space.
Can I for example delete the swap and then create an extended
partition within the free space and finally create logical partitions
as required?
Can swap be assigned to an extended/logical partition?
I am being a little over cautious in asking this on list before I try
but after 3 days of compiling I am not in the mood to lose it all to
an avoidable mistake :)
Thanks
