Sounds like, Yes, I could have a secondary dos drive beyond the 1024th
cylinder, of not more than 540 megs in which I could install extra programs
and store data to be accessed by Win98.
That's good, between the two 540MB partitions I'd have the 1 gig I need to
do what I do.
Then that leaves the other 2 gigs for linux which can handle the larger
drive size without the disk mangler.
Thankyou.
