Greetings,

I have an old P166 that I'd like to install a new 8.5GB IDE drive in,
however, the BIOS will not handle drives over 8GB.  I would like to use the
drive to store user files, I don't need to boot off of it.

I had attempted to make the drive the only drive in the system, but was
unable to get RH6.2 to install on it, so I used a 1Gb drive instead.  Now
I'm cramped for space.  I'm hoping I can just add this big drive to the
existing system.

Can linux handle this large drive on the old system without having to buy a
new BIOS?

Thanks
DK
