I've created a partition and swap file space on my secondary harddrive. I
used Partition Magic to create the partitions.
The harddisk now looks like this:
|--- windows ---||--- linux part ---||--- linux swap ---|
| /dev/hdb1 || /dev/hdb2 || /dev/hdb3 |
Questions:
1) Am I correct on the /dev/ addresses?
2) Will the Mandrake installation program recognize the linux partitions
I've created as the place to install linux? Currently there is nothing in
the partitions. The documentation is a bit fuzy in this area. Will the
install program ask me where to install?
I'm not the only user of the PC and I really do not want to risk destroying
any data in the first partition.
3) If I do a custom install, will I be prompted on whether or not to install
a bootloader or can I just skip the step? I don't want to install GRUB or
have it automatically installed.
Thanks.
