Description of Problem: I partitioned my 80GB Seagate with PartitionMagic (under Windows Me), leaving 16GB of free space at the end of my secondary partition. I began my instillation of Linux 7.1, booting off of CD #1 from the package. When I got to Disk Druid, I clicked on the "add" button, added the swap partition (128MB). I then clicked on the "add" button again to add the boot partition, allocating 32MB. When I did this, I got an error message for the swap partition ---> "No free primary." WTF????? I KNOW there is at least 16GB of free space available. ------------------------------------------------------ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Red Hat Linux 7.1 enforced the constraint that /boot had to be on a primary partition and you have no free primary partitions. Newer releases do not require this.
