RE: drives over 2 gigs

["Chris Strandt" <strandtc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just thought I would put my 2 cents in....
First drive I used was a 4 gig WD IDE....
w/ a 1 gig part for Win95.. 400 megs for NT... and 600 left over for linux,
swap, and a shared partition.

I was able to mount all the filesystems fine.

I was using Partition Magic's Boot loader in the MBR.. and used Lilo in the
Linux Native partition.

BTW... umm.... is this linux here.. or Win95? (read below)
