Hi Alex, About two seconds after I hit OK in Disk Druid to tell it to create my partitions, I get an error saying the space was not able to be allocated. In some instances, it tells me that it was unable to create a primary partition. Is it absolutely necessary that I use a primary partition to install Linux? A friend told me that logical partitions preformatted to EXT2 would work just as well. Stephen Clower, that guy from the south.
