Linux partitions don't need to be primary partitions. I have been
using several Linux flavors in my home computer since 1998 and I have
never installed it in a primary partition. The only primary partition
has been reserved to WinNT4 / Win2000 / WinXP, Linux is installed in
extended partition - all right, the extended partitions are part of the
second primary partition.  At present I have three Operating Systems,
WinXP (hda1), shared data partition (hda5), SuSE 9.2 Pro (hda6...), and
Ubuntu (hdd5...!).
