Re: how can i create linux partition?
The install process formats the partition for Linux. You just need to
create the partition or empty space for one beforehand - it can be a Win95
partition or whatever. The install program will ask which partition(s)
you want to format for Linux, or even allow you to destructively
repartition. Remember that you want a swap partition too.
The only thing the install program won't do is nondestructively
repartition, i.e. you can't change any partitions without erasing their
data. For that you need Partition Magic or FIPS.
