I have the following hardware setup:
386 dx w/ 4 megs of Ram
Intel Above Classic Bus Board 1/2 meg
1.44m, 1.2m Floppy drives
90 meg, 60 meg hard drives (with boot on the 90 meg) RLL Encoded
Trident 8900C video w/ 1 meg
Vga Monitor
Panasonic P1124 -24pin printer

Ok, my questions are:
If I wish to run off a MsDos/Linux Platform
which OS should have the first partition on
my boot hard disk?
Is LILO the best way to enable booting from
different partitions?
What partition sizes are recommended? (I'd like 15 megs for Dos)
Can Linux/Unix bases make use of the memory on the Above board?
Does Linux make use of caches on the Hd/Fd Controller?
(or are they just ignored?)

If possible please reply in E-mail.
