[OLUG] partitioning the HD

[Rado Bonk]

Does it mean, that Linux partition let say hda7 can start somewhere around
9 GB (if I would likw to keep 9GB for W98 and 3GB for Linux). I knew that
Linux can't be installed after the certain cylinder (I think 1024). Since
there are no problems in new distro, that is great.
Thanks,
