I ran cfdisk (have the 2 primary and 1 logical
partition).
Although adding another primary partition stopped
me from going foward, I was able to add a number of
logical partitions. I've been playing with installing
Debian on different configurations (dual boot,
multiple Linuces) and at home, I was able to even put
the /boot on a logical partition (that's how I have it
now). So, if it's extra disk space you want to carve
up, use logical partitions.
