Yes, the new version of Lilo can handle placing the system files beyond the 1024 cylinder mark...but... If you partition your linux installation to include 16MB or so /boot partition below the 1024 cylinder mark, you do not have to worry about this at all. If all you are installing on this HD is linux, then make the following partitions, in the following order, and stop worrying: /boot 16MB /swap Twice the size of your physical RAM / 1GB or more (and, if / doesn't take up the rest of the drive...) /usr at least 1GB /home at least 1GB The last two partitions are not necessary, but are nice to have if plan to re-install the OS and don't want to have to lose all your personal applications and configuration files. --Greg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug McGarrett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > At 12:27 PM 10/27/2000 -0700, domeone wrote: > >Hi all, > >Had a question about the grub bootloader, does it really work like they > >say it does ? > >I have a 20 gig drive and the linux site says that with grub your linux os > >can exist anywhere on the drive and grub will load it.
