Re: tlug: LILO Vs. 1024 cylinders

I installed TL2.0J into IDE4.3GB HD a few days ago. There was no
problem.
I just made two partition 4.1GB for Linux and 200MB for swap. It's works
fine now.

I saw same 'over 1024 cylinders' alert on fdisk when I installed RH5.0
to 2.5GB
HD , but I ignored it. Finally, it worked. I installed LILO to MBR.

At first, check BIOS, if BIOS recognized 6.4GB HD as 'LBA', I think it
works.
I was told some old BIOS couldn't recognize over 2.5GB HD.

I have 'bad habbit(?) ' these days. When I get Windows machine, erase HD
then install Linux and connect to 10Base-T HUB in my work room. :-}
The only one who dosen't know linux is PowerMac8500/120. I tell her
every night 'MkLinux is waiting for you.'

PS: If I said something wrong, please let me know.
