I am trying to install Debian (version 3.0) for the first time. I already have another Linux system installed on logical partitions within an extended partition (on an Athlon system), and have created a new logical partition to install Debian into. But when I run the installation CD, it sees but fails to recognise the extended partition, and therefore doesn't see the logical partitions within it. The reason is, I think, that the extended partition has a partition type of 0x0f rather than 0x05 which appears to be the standard code for an extended partition. (The partitions were created by System Commander.)
How can I make the installation program see my logical partitions? Can I patch and rebuild a program in the installation CD, and recreate the CD? Or alternatively, how could I change the partition type code from 0x0f to 0x05 without losing any of the data on the partitions? -- David Jarvie. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
