I'm having a really bad day, I managed to do this the first time but cannot
do it the second time....

I need to partition my hard drive for the Linux partitions.

In mac-fdisk I type I to initialise the parition map.  Now when I try to
create a new partition it says:

"requested base and length is not within an existing free partition"

Hello!!!!

This is what my partition map looks like at the moment..

/dev/hda1    Apple_partition_map    Apple    63    @    1    (31.5K)
Partition map
/dev/hda2    Apple_Free    Extra    40132438    @    64    (19.1G)    Free
space

So if I enter the command: c2, this doesn't comes up with the error about.
How on earth to I create a partition?

Help!  Please. :)

Thanks,

Kevin
