I am trying to install Linux Slackware
along with Win2k English + Win 98
Japanese OS on my Toshiba Satellite 2140
Laptop.
Everything works fine with RedHat but
I am not sure about the partition
logic with Slackware
My partition is like this
HDD := 20GB
Primary C:\ 6GB FAT32(Win98 + Win2k)
Extended D:\ 4GB FAT32
Unused 10GB (Intended for Linux Use)
(I wish to put the /boot on a floppy disk
drive and later change the boot.inf in
NT Loader.)
{
In Redhat I did like this
/ (root) ext3 6GB
/swap Linux swap 400MB(My Memory is 192MB)
It works fine with Redhat.
}
Then when I tried Slackware, when it comes
to partitioning table, I used
cfdisk. But I am not sure how to make
a 'Linux Native' or ext3 partition
since there is no option other than Linux,
Linux LVM and Linux Swap.
Also at the bottom there is one Bootable
option and I am not sure if I have
to select it for any of the two partitions.

ext2,linux
native,type 82,linux are all the same thing.
linux swap,type 83 are also the same thing. |

To
make an ext3 partition all you do (after
the partition is made) is
mke2fs -j /dev/####. ext3 is simply ext2
+ journaling - hence the -j
argument (journaling) |
