I will give you some headinformation here - You are limited to 4 primary partitions, the logical partitions start = from 5 and up.=20 Windows prefer a primary partition, and the best thing is to install win = first.=20 If you use red hat linux and the partition druid you will get problem = because the druid eats all the primary partitions if you use several. = Slackware will not give you that problem. A good idea is to use free bsd's partition program for linux and free = bsd and windows (well...) partitionprogram for win. Something like this = - first win, then free bsd and a primary partition extra for linux, then = when you install linux you install the main (root/boot) partition on the = partition made with free bsd and use linux partition program to set a = side a swap partition (yes, that way it works with red hat too).=20 /Mats
