Hi!

I have an old 486 with a large hard disk (about 1 GB).  As far as I
know, the 486's BIOS cannot deal with HDs greater than 512 MB.  It is
not a problem if you install Linux, because it doesn't use the BIOS to
work with devices.  I had Linux in that 486 with the 1 GB HD.

Now I have a new computer, and want to set up only Windoze in the 486.
Windoze uses the BIOS, and it can't deal with such great HD.

But I wonder, because Linux is so wonderful, perhaps I can fdisk the HD
with Linux and install LILO there, with only Windoze.  Or, at least, I
will be able to make a minimal Linux partition for setting up LILO,
and let the rest of the HD with Windoze.

Probably I will need to make two partitions of 512 MB or less.

Am I right?  How can I do that?  Particularly, how can I install LILO in
that HD?

Thank you in advance.
