Hello,
A friend asked me to install in his computer Ubuntu. His hard drive already had three primary NTFS partions and oen partition free. In order to install Ubuntu I created an extended partition to create a logical partition for Ubuntu and another for the Swap space. But when I was going to initiate the installation the system told me that I couldn't install Ubuntu outside the disk. So I didn't create a Swap and I installed Ubuntu in the fourth primary partition.
Is it required that at least one distribution be installed on a primary partition? In other occasions I had installed distributions in a logical partition but I had also one on a primary partition too at that time.
