Pieter....first off I've installed Mandrake literally 100's of
times since version 5.2 and never sen what you are describing.
Also, you don't say which version of mandrake you're installing
and don't tell just what options you've chosen as you did the
installation. But, you should be able to re-install and make
sure to choose custom or expert when asked to be able to exert
more control over the partitioning process. Just delete the
current partitions and re-do it the way you want.
