My laptop has an ntfs and fat32 partitions which are correctly identified. Since they took up partitions 1 & 2, there could only be 2 more primary partitions. I therefore needed to create an extended partition for swap, /, /home. The gtk installer did not give the option to create extended partitions and was unable to select the remaining space at one point after creating,deleting partitions, forcing me to stop it and restart. I had to stop the install, use fdisk manually to create the correct partitions and filesystems before restarting the gtk installer. The installer does correctly see all partitions once created and filesystems installed. But it does not allow to set a filesystem on a pre-configured partition done with fdisk. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.attempt to create an extended partition 2. 3. Actual Results: extended partitions are not an option Expected Results: create an extended partition along with the other needed partitions. Also, the auto partitioning warning seemed to imply that it would ignore the already installed ntfs and fat32 partitions and take over the entire drive rather than the remainder of the drive, so I did not try it. For future releases it should recognize the M$ partitions and allow to leave them alone.
It gives you the option to create a logical partition, which will automatically create an extended.
