I've run into a problem early in the process of installing SuSE 6.0 that I hope someone can help me with (or point me toward an information source that can actually help). I have a 10G IDE hard drive that I'm planning on running both Linux and Win98 from. I used FIPS to partition the drive so there are 8G for Win98 and 2G for Linux. The problem is the fact that the disk has 1247 cylinders and during the installation YaST refuses to have anything to do with creating a partition. I realize that the kernel wants to be installed under 1024, but I assume there's no reason that Linux can't make use of the cylinders over 1024 for things like my /usr and /home partitions. Now the questions: Is there any way to get YaST to deal with creating partions that will exist in whole or in part past 1024? If I create them using, for example, FIPS will YaST be able to deal with changing them from WIN95 partitions to Linux? If I intend to boot Linux from a floppy does the kernel still need to be kept under the 1024 limit? If so, how much space should I make sure I have under that limit for my root partition? I've looked in the SuSE support database and at the mini-HOWTO about large disks, but I wasn't able to find clear answers to these questions.
