You were lucky. We can't compute a hard limit, but the whole disk has to be mapped into the available virtual memory, which is addressed by 32 bit. > BTW, I have changed my hard disk now, so when I can get another time > Hurd installed I will check it with my bigger partitions. You should stick with the ~ 1 Gb limit until the install manuals tell you otherwise. Thanks, Marcus
