May I suggest that before you ask too many more questions here that you
obtain copies of basic HOWTOs that will aid in understanding the answers
that Lawson is providing. The specific HOWTOs that I believe you should
read are the Large-Disk-HOWTO (it will help in understanding the 1024
cylinder limit) and the Partition HOWTO. Two other mini-HOWTOs, LILO
and Loadlin-Win95-98-ME, will also help in understanding answers to
specific questions you may ask later.
