[SLUG] Partitioning for RedHat 7 dual boot install

["Edwin Humphries" <edwin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to set up a workstation as a dual boot system, WinNT4 and 
Red Hat Linux 7.1.

The system has a single 20Gb HDD, currently partitioned with a 4Gb 
drive for Windows OS and software and an 8Gb drive for data (which I 
intend to mount under /home).

This leaves 8Gb for Linux OS and software; However, it also only 
leaves two possible primary partitions, and I need at least three: 
/boot (to end under the 1024 cylinder limit), swap and /.

I've seen many references to Linux being installed into logical 
drives on an extended partition, and i can use NT's Disk manager to 
create a logical partition. But Disk Druid can't seem to use it, or 
to create any extended partitions itself.

Is this a gotcha, or can I solve it?
Best Regards
