    Since nobody answered me the first time I've been reading all available
    articles on the internet. I doubt though some of what I'm reading.

    With two HD's, does the 1024 cylinder limitation apply to your Linux
    installation on \dev\hdb2? Do I have to make room on C:/ within the
    first 8.5 GB to add my Linux \boot partition? Or can I just install
    \boot, \root, and \swap at the begining of my slave drive?

    Reading so many articles by different authors who are installing Linux
    on differently configured computers using anything from Win 2k, ME, NT,
    or XP is leading to contradictions. At the moment I am downloading the
    Mandrake ISO's. I tried FC twice without luck.
