Can linux go completely on extended partitions? Or does it all have to be on primary partitions, or can it be split?
Only the boot partition needs to be a primary. Usually a 100MB root partition is recommended - put that in a primary, then all other partitions, such as swap, /usr, and /home, can all go into extended. / (and /boot) must be in primary, everything else may be in a DOS extended, so long as the logicals are Linux-native.
None specified.
