It shouldn't matter where the swap partition is, so long as its a partition. It will be found via its "partition type" code in the partition table. Partitions in the extended partition are standard stuff an easily found. >> What are you trying to do?

I had to preupgrade my F9 laptop to F10 in order to get preupgrade to work to finally upgrade it to F11. (I had wanted to preupgrade directly to rawhide from F9 in anticipation of running F12 on it, but that also failed for me.) Its going to stay at F11 until I find/fix everything that's broken in F11 but worked in F9.... I couldn't upgrade my F8 server directly to F11 either, so, right now, its sitting at F10 as preupgrade F8->F10 worked for me. I haven't yet taken the next step as I'm still cleaning up broken stuff on it. I also had recently received a computer that I wished to install F11 on. Its a Dell Dimension 3000 that I recently installed a new 250GB hard drive and upgraded to 1GB of RAM. All attempts to install F11 failed (both the install DVD and the Live Media). I *was* able to install F10 via the Live Media, and then preupgrade to F11 succeeded for me. Can't say I'm too happy with the current state of upgrading right now. Maybe things will be better with F12? -- Kevin J.
