Help
I have a 20 gig hard disk  and would like to use both windows and linux on
the pc.
I put A partition  of 1.5 gig for linux. When I install linux (mandrake 6.0)
it get to the point where it asks "where would you like to install LILO" I
have tried both the MBR & ON THE LINUX PARTION.
It keeps coming up with an error.
I think it something to do with the cylinders because it's more than 1024.

How do I get around this?

Thanks
Si
