[tlinux-users:03411] I am not sure about the partition logic with Slackware Wed, 23 Apr 2003

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)
