~ 1713 X 512 = 877056 bytes = 856.5 k bytes free space?
Or did I get you wrong? Are you telling that sda5 did not exist
before the
attempt to install Mint?
I need to apologise to the group - when I used to do installations on a
daily basis, it was dinned into me that one could have at the most 4
primary partititons, since I have not done this for the past 6-7 years I
had forgotten this. I have got it figured out now. Thanks all - I will
try again and revert.
