(?) 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).
Hi.. I have SuSE Linux installed on the last 6g on a 40g drive no problem It was 7.3 but now upgraded to 8..During the install you will find the setup procedure will advise you to make a boot floppy if it sees windows on the drive -- Regards Ted Wager SuSE Linux user
