Hi guys,
I used to have linux and openbsd in my pc back home and a separate p3
with win98 on it. Till then I wasn't confronted with having unix and
win32 on the same disk.
Recently I moved in with my wife and we share one pc with an 80GB disk.
My problem is how do I install win98, XP and linux on it given the 4
primary partition limit of an IDE drive?
I've googled and found that I should use Partition Magic and do the
lazy way of partitioning via windows and install everything after
that.
I also wanted a data partition (FAT32) that can be used to share data
between all OSs.
Also, I'm not sure if I can use an extended partition for swap.
I'm planning of doing this:
/dev/hda1 - win98
/dev/hda2 - Extended partition containing these:
---> WinXP
---> Data partition (FAT32)
/dev/hda3 - swap
/dev/hda4 - Extended partition containing:
---> root / (ext3)
---> boot (ext2)
Before I set out doing this, I just want to ask you experts if there's
a better way of doing it.
Thanks and best,
