extended partition after you have 4 physical partitions, then logical 
partitions reside on the extended partition, for as many logical

>>I forgot that I installed the new version of webmin on hdb1. I dont want to reinstall webmin. How can I create the extents of the hdd? Can I create an extended partition (ext3) using the rest of the hdd without losing my webmin? Webmin gives me the option to do it. I just dont want to mess things up.. Thanks!
