i installed linux-mandrake 6.1 yesterday. during the installation i used disk druid to define the partitions. when i selected "add" in disk druid, a window popped up where i had to enter the mount point, the size and the type of partition (native, swap).

under the "type of partition" section there were two other choices: "DOS < 16" and "DOS >= 32".

does that mean i can make a new parition for installing windows on, at a later time? if those two options are for defining DOS paritions what should i enter as the mount point?

NOTE: i was working with a clean disk with nothing on it.

thanks in advance

Yes, disk druid will allow you to create FAT16 or FAT32 partitions. As for the mount point, do not specify anything if you do not want to have this partition mounted under linux.
