I would set it up with the following /boot partion of around 4-5 meg at the very start of the drive. dos partiooooon for windows. / (root) partion for linux /swap You reealy want this as with out it it will be slow would use somewhaere around 96 meg worth. You can use partionmagic to set this up. I would first shring the dos partion then shift it up a bit to make room for the /boot partion , then create the /boot partion ( you will need to give it at lease 2 cylenders worth ot it wont boot , then create your / and swap partions. If its a new system you can just simply blow ever thing away and start from sracht by creating the partions then istalling the os and seting up lilo ect...

Apologies for a slightly off-topic subject, but I guess it's something that people on this list might have dealt with in the past.
I'm building a new system. Sadly, step number one is to install Windows 98! It has a 20Gb UDMA drive which I used fdisk to split into two (SuSE will go on another disk later - not yet installed).
Whilst I have two 10Gb partitions (one in an extended partition), W98 reports the size of the C: drive as 20Gb! Clearly something is not quite right and I guess W98 may well get into trouble later. (D: is reported correctly as 10Gb.)
Is there something I've missed, or some way to convince W98 that I have two 10Gb partitions?
Cheers, Marc.
