Hi All,

well after spending most of last night installing 98 and 2000 (yes I know
pure torture!) I came to the fun bit ...Linux.......... and then the
problems started. Are we still restricted to having to have /boot under the
1024 cylinder limit? as Linux wanted to resize my windows installation to
allow for this, which in turn broke the 98/2000 install. I assumed that
intalling to MBR would allow for this? I'm confused! My only option seems to
be to be use a boot floppy (not very eligant) or loadlin (which has problems
about onyl running under dos???? Any ideas? 

Current Partitioning idea

primary : 98
Ext Logical 1 : 2000
Ext Logical 2 : Linux
