Hiya,
I have Linux, Solaris and Windows working with Lilo in a Toshiba
TECRA8000 notebook. It has a 14GB hard disk.
Following is my partition configuration:
hda1 extended
I think you guys are right. Now, I got further question. I have a 22 GB hard drive which I want to install Win98 and Linux on it. I would like to have 10GB space for Win98.
1) How should I partition my harddrive and still be able to put Linux's boot partition before the first 8GB?
boot partition uses to be small, put at the begin.
2) Is it possible to install the Linux at the first 12GB and then install Win98 afterward? But by doing this, how can I restore the Lilo after I boot into 98?
Don't try that... It can work (yes I tried) but maybe some day, after a Win defrag, your Win is no longer starting up...(yes I proof ;-) If you keep your boot partition at the begining there is no problem at all in moving your linux parttions to high disc sectors.
3) In my case, actually how big of a partition I need to reserve for the /boot so that it is still in the first 1024 cylinders?
More or less 10MB it's enough. Do you use to keep many kernel in the boot??? I mean do you keep your old kernels after compiling?
