hm...that is an interesting point of view. because when I create it using
extended scheme, it assume the extended partition goes all the way to the
end. I think the problem is with fdisk, or my knowledge of fdisk. I
tried cfdisk, and it worked like magic...it found all the free space, and
I can just create a logical partition on that free space.
btw, if I don't use extended partition, I would only have the choice of
making 4 primary. is there other way around that?
