Hello everyone.
I had installed Mandrake 7.0 as the single OS on my box. No problem at all. Then my HD
physically crashed and I installed a new one with Windows 98. This new hd is 20Gb big,
and initially, when installing Win98 I left only a partition of 10Gb (9.x Gb), the
rest of the disk would be for Linux. Then I tried to install Mandrake, but DrakX told
me that the partition for Linux is beyond the cylinder 1024, so I quit installation. I
surfed the internet to read some howtos, but my confusion grew larger. My question is:
can I install Linux without making a /boot partition within the cylinder 1024?
Can I keep my hd like
!----------------Win98(10Gb)--------------!!--------------------Linux--------------------!
or should I go to something like
!-/boot-!!-----------------Win98---------------!!-----------------Linux------------------!
Please, if you'd be so kind to clarify this to me.
Thanks in advance.
