I posted around a week ago asking, got one reply, and with all
this talk of partitioning and LILO and all that, I thought I'd post again
with what I think would work on my system (a 3.2G drive):
hda1 100M boot/root/whatever you call it
hda2 500M Primary DOS 6.22 / Windows 3.11
hda3 700M The rest of Linux (Except for /usr)
hda4 the rest, extended partition
hda5 100M swap
hda6 500M /usr
and the rest in a few DOS partitions. (I may use my 345M drive as
hdb, if I can get it running again, but it will have one DOS partition,
but I may stick swap on it. That's if I can get it running). Which
partition do I make active? Where would I put LILO? (hda for both
questions?) I'd like to be able to boot into either DOS or Linux. I
don't have Redhat yet, but I did make two floppies from boot.img and
supp.img from sunsite, and can use fdisk from there on the Linux
partitions. Let me know if this is a good idea, bad idea, or what.
Thanks.
