I have dual-booted Windows 8.1 and Fedora 24. But, I want to triple book now, with another not very known Linux OS. My partitions looks like this:
I know that I can only create 4 primary partitions, and in my case I already have the 4 primary partitions, therefore, I cannot create a new partition with my unallocated space. I simply want now to put that unallocated space under my /dev/sda4
extended partition, so that maybe I can install my new Linux OS in that partition. Also the output of fdisk -l
command can be found below:
Disk /dev/sda: 465.8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors

The Linux OS that I want to install is a custom one based on Debian, and it doesn't include GParted so that I can change stuff with Live CD. Any idea how to get around this situation and install my new OS in the unallocated space?
