That could be more than true, but I still like to play "better safe than
sorry". Generally speaking, I like to put the /boot and the / on the
first drive below the 1024 mark, then the /home (or whatever) and the
swap on a completely different physical drive (or more!). Same with any
version of Winders - I put the OS on one drive and the TEMP or PAGEFILE
on another physical drive...
For all intents and purposes, MDK might be "a happy camper" beyond 1024,
but I still like to impose my scheme...(for load balancing amongst other
things)...I'll give it a shot on my next test system to see if it
works...Tanx Carroll!
I have 2k & MDK installed. LILO goes before the 1024 part, other than that win2k doesn't complain tho it is before linux b/c win2k will bitch if I don't do it that way. POS M$ bullshit OS.
