If expert mode is choosed for install, then :

Suppose u have already 2 partitions say for NTs
(/dev/hde1 & /dev/hde2). It is only allowed to have
the amount of 4 patitions in each HD.

Scenario in the graphical intallation of 7.1/7.2:
Use the install tool (diskDrak ?) to created further
primary partition intended for "/boot" (should be
/dev/hde3).
Further partition I wonna create are:
swap
/
/tmp

That the only alternative is to put them all inside
the extended partition. So I created that with da
graphical tool, fine, it is created. After that I can
not create any other partition anymore, even though
there are still free HD-space remind there. I mean can
not created partition inside the extended poartition
any more. This problem applied also if I create the
extended partition first b4 the /boot last primary
partition.

So the dirty trick is:
As I intended to do is to lay the
partition(swap,/,/tmp)on the rest HD-space inside a
single extended partition. So I created the whole rest
partition as swap). It accept it only in this case,
then go back there to resize the swap and create the
other rest partitions beside the swap one after
another). It got done, well.
