BTW, I was reading in Usenet about how to get around the 1024 cylinder limit.
Create a small (~2 megabytes) partition that's just above your DOS partition
below the 1024th cylinder. Mount that as /boot, so when LILO runs, it
indexes into that partition.
This is probably what I'll do at home since I have to repartition anyway.
P.S. I discovered that with the software I installed, I've almost filled up
the 500 meg partition with Linux stuff! Wow. Next time, I'm gunna just
do the above and have 1 big partition...
