I partitioned my harddrive into 9Gb for 'doze and 5Gb for Suse. The Linux partitions are 4,5Gb for / and the balance as swap.
When using yast2 to do the install I was told I couldn'y have a dual boot system because of the 1024 saga :-(
I thought I had read in here somewhere that this problem had been overcome.
Is the problem because of hda1 containing windows ME and doesn't like anything else sharing the drive?
No, it's just the 1024 cylinder limit. The latest version of LILO doesn't have that limit any more, but wasn't included with SuSE. You can get hold of it here: ftp://ftp2.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/a1/lilo-21.6-9.i386.rpm Just go ahead with the install, ignoring all of the warnings, and not configuring LILO. When you've finished the install, you can install the new LILO, configure and run it, and all will be well. Be sure to put the lba32 option in /etc/lilo.conf. Hope that helps, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
