Description Arun Bhanu (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-22 08:09:08 UTC
Paragraph reading the below should be corrected:
Finally, let's create the root partition. To do this, type n to create a new 
partition, then p to tell fdisk that you want a primary partition. Then type 2 
to create the second primary partition, /dev/hda3 in our case. 

Correction:
Then type 3 to create the third primary partition, /dev/hda3 in our case.




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
If you follow the current directions fdisk throws the following error:
Partition 2 is already defined. Delete it before re-adding it.

This is a duplicate of bug #17889, which is already fixed in CVS.
