RE: [newbie] disk problem

[David Pilcher]

The latest version of lilo does not require the kernel to be in the first 1024 cylinders.   I've never tried using system commander, but I guess that you could loose it and use Grub or Lilo as a boot menu instead.   Suggest you check out http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Multiboot-with-GRUB.html or http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/LILO.html#toc1   Dave -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Igor Andreevich Rubinsky Sent: 06 February 2001 14:42 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] disk problem i've got a disk problem, i have a syscommander delux, then 2000 meg FAT - partition 0, + 8000 meg FAT - partition 1, + 10000 meg FAT - free.   when i try to install linux from the only hard drive my syscommander resizes the first 2000 meg FAT to 1500 meg FAT + 470 meg UNIX + 70 meg free. i don't know why :O(   i heard that the linux kernel must be within first 1024 cylls? hrenovo eto vse :O(
