[LINUX] Red Hat install help?

Hi there, linux newbie here.

I've got Red Hat 5.1, and I'm tryingto install it on my PC that already
has Win95 running. When I'm using Disk Druid to create the Linux
partitions, I can create a max of 1 partition. If I try to create a
second, say for swap, or /usr, I get the error

"No free primary"

Does anyone know what this means, and what I can do to work around it?

My current HD situation is this:

IDE 3GB:
Primary partition - 1 GB - Win95 FAT16
Extended partition - 1GB - 2 log drives, FAT16
Free space - 1GB - I want to install here
Boot manager - 1MB

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Wayne
