[Techtalk] logical & extended partitions (fdisk)

One problem is I made all the partitions as primary
(p). But there are only 4 primary partitions that can
be made. Seems like even if I make an extended (e)
partition I cannot mount it.

How can I make more than 4 partitions and mount them
at the same time as ext3 fs? Can anyone shed some
light on this issue?

TIA.
