Parted issue -

[Jacques Mader]

I am installing AS3 on IBM equipment in a lab environment.

During installation we reformat and reset the partitions using parted. (parted-1.6.3-29.5)
I issue the following command during installation:

        parted -s $device1Dir mkpart extended $start $end

After install I get the following partition table. Can't figure out why I get the
Win95 partition for my Extended partition.

When I run the same command in AS4 I get a normal Linux Extended partition, which is
the expected result.

Is this a bug in parted or am I making an error in the parted command?
Thanks,

Jack Mader
