Well, I amrunning my debian from a 14.4 gig IBM drive... (its fast :) I did have some troubles -- many things thought it was a seven gig drive, but sooner or later I convinced fdisk how big it was, and haven't had trouble since, despite the kernel still reporting it a 7 gigger at boot.
<shrug> One thing that might be a good idea -- make a 20-30 meg /boot partition on /dev/hd[abcd]1 to store your kernels in. That way, lilo will always be able to find them. I haven't had trouble with that, but .. not a bad step to take, when it is so easy. :) On Sun, Sep 05, 1999 at 03:19:24PM -0500, John Foster wrote: > I did not see any replies to this query from a previous posting, so I'll > ask again.
