Hi,
I've tried a trick without disturbing the C partn that worked out with a big
hdd(ie 20gb)
here are the details...
The guys hdd I worked with had (C-5 gb(actv) , (extend)d -4,e-4,f-5 rest
unpartned for Linux)...
The /boot has to be put within the 1024 cylinder range... (partn D well in
that range..)
1)Moved all data in D to E & made a G partn...
2)Deleted partn D & made a partn of 2gb , rest(2gb) left unpartned for
Linux.
3)What else put the CD & install ??!!....
Bye
Kaushik
