[NTLUG:Discuss] maximum disk/partition size

Tue Feb 8 10:58:22 CST 2000

Not your first (boot) disk?  Go for it.

If it's your boot disk, be sure that root (or /boot at the very least)
is completely under the 1024th cylinder.  See the Large Disk HOWTO, or
previous discussions in the archive about this.

HTH,
Kevin
