Just purchased a BAD from Fry's 17.5GB. I have two 4GB Win98 partisions,
and was going to give the rest to RH 6.0. I am using Disk Druid the drive
Geom. is:
Cyl = 2100 Heads = 255 Sec = 63
It shows : Used = 8001 Free = 8471
And this is right, but when I try to create a 500MB "/" partision it tells me:
/ Not enough free space 500M/NA
As we speak I am searching the LDP for answers but I'm not sure what to
look for other than "Installing Linux On A Large Disk". If anyone has
climbed this hill before please shed some light. It's hard to think that
with all the new things with Linux there is a drive limit.
You may be able to kill two birds with one stone, but, in the end when it's
all over, all you really have are two dead birds, and your short one stone.
