On the subject of cfdisk and fdisk, does anyone know why cfdisk would give me
this message:
FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6:
Press any key to exit cfdisk
and refuse to work, while fdisk and disk druid work just fine with no such
errors?
hda6 (I assume that's what's referred to by 'logical partition 6') is my swap
partition, and I don't know what would be wrong with it. I first got that
message when I was playing around with installing Slackware (at least that
forced me into acquainting myself with fdisk), so I thought it might have just
been Slackware, but cfdisk gives me the same thing in Mandrake.
