I told the installer to make the changes, and it did create a new ext3
file system on the partition, and the base system was successfully
installed, up to the point where I had to configure the boot loader. I
tried several times, and once or twice I chose "continue without boot
loader", and rebooted Woody. I mounted the file system successfully and
tries to install grub, but grub-install told me that the Sarge
partition was not a suitable place for the boot loader (or something
like that). Only because of that I noticed that the partition type was
wrong. The next time I tried to find a way to change it manually during
installation, but obviuosly the installer is supposed to do it
automatically. Only that in my case it didn't.
