I am about to install Suse 8.0 but delayed it to clarify some points first. WIN98 is already installed. I have been told again and again that at least the boot partition must be located within the first 1024 cylinders of the first hd. Later I was told that this does not matter any longer since version 7.1 (?) or so. On the contrary Suse should be put at the end of the hd (I only have one: 30 GB). Otherwise it might be difficult to create 'boot', 'root', and 'swap'. Now the '1024 cylinders question' comes up again in this correspondence, i.e. Suse or at least the boot partition should be placed within said limit. Now what is correct for v. 7.3 and v. 8.0? Using Partition Magic 6 I have left 6 GB of unallocated space at the end of the hd. I have not yet decided whether to use dual booting (only Lilo, Power Quest-BM + Lilo [latter in suse boot partition] or floppy for Suse and no BM in boot sector at all).
