(1) if you want several types of linux on a HD, how would you partition it ?

it doesnt need "active" partitions like XP, but does it need "primary" partition either ?

could i perhaps have (a) swapfile (b) primary (c) several logicals,

and put all the subsequent distros in the logicals ?

(2) fdisk doesnt seem to allow RESIZING of existing partitions,

and pm8 refuses to do mine either, - whats the solution ?


many thanks if you can help.
