[SLUG]partitioning with linux ##

[Minh Van <mle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

linux can't handle more than 4 primary partitions eh ? it tells me i'm out
of available sectors when i've got 10 gb remaining.

i still haven't grasped how linux-fdisk assigns logical blocks. sometimes
i can get it to return 2000000000+ blocks for a logical partition which is
erroneous because i only have a 20 gb disk. is this because i haven't
closed the logical/extended partition ? -- i know that os/2 closes the
extended partition after the last block has been assigned.
