Re: [Plug] That idiotic cylinder 1024 problem
|
Use the 1.6 Gig for /boot /tmp and swap If you feel inventive put a
partition on the back end of the 1.6 and give it a pagefile.sys for NT, it
will make things run a bit smoother not having the swap on the same
drive, that way you can have lilo in the MBR of the 20gigger pointing to
the 1.6gig and the /boot is under 1024 cylinders. In the end you make out
like a bandit. I did something like this before with a bunch of small
drives.
