Mandriva Linux Parition Type
Linux will run fine on ext2, ext3, or reiserfs.
I'm not sure what Mandriva supports, but if reiserfs is available, use that. If not, go with ext3, then ext2 as a last resort.
It's also possible to run some Linux distros on FAT partitions, but that is not recommended as the file system itself has no way to store permission data.
The partition type in fdisk should be set to 0x83 (Linux) if you are using reiserfs, ext3, or ext2.
