I'm trying to install Suse 9.3 as a second linux install. My current HD setup is as follows...

I tried installing 9.3 and resizing hdb4/var, but yast advises that I already have 4 primary partitions. How can I change things to do a second linux install, while keeping my ability to boot the existing install?
I have about 2.7GB free space on hda, lots of space in hdb, particularly home and var.
As long as I have been working with PC's (over 15 years) you can only have 4 primary partitions. You will have to delete hdb4 and make it an extended partition and then you can more then 4 partitions. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
