First install Linux wherever you want. Don't worry about it being past the 1024 cylinder. BUt just make sure that during installation you make a boot disk. Then, after you finish installing, reboot and use that boot disk to get to Linux. Then once in Linux, install the new LILO. Can anyone advise, now with this patch, how to install a fresh version of Linux on a computer beyond the 1024th cylinder? How do we go about this? Many thanks SM Foo -- Anthony Huereca http://m3000.1wh.com Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.

Re: [newbie] LILO: The 1024-cylinder limit has been removed by a patch
Is it possible to upgrade LILO on a machine currently running the older version? Of course, that's how most geeks (read: Linux guru's) will upgrade. You can get it from here: http://www.freshmeat.net/appindex/1998/12/04/912827201.html if you're brave. If you're doing a fresh install of Mandrake, can the new LILO be substituted for the old one? I don't think it can be. However, if you want to set up a Linux distro beyond the 1024 limit, you can install it past that. Just make sure you make a boot disk during installation. Then, after you finish installing, use the boot disk to get to Linux. Then download and install the new LILO, and you're set. Regards, Nathan I was going to comment on this news too, I'm excited about it. Finally you can put Linux at the back of the drive with no worries at all. The 1024 limit also confused a lot of Newbies (including me) when they first heard about it, so now that won't be an issue anymore. I wonder if Mandrake will put it in 7.1 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= the webcam to end all webcams http://jennings.yi.org/webcam -- Anthony Huereca http://m3000.1wh.com Computers are not intelligent.
