o.k. here it is :
/dev/hda1 FAT primary 500M
/dev/hda2 FAT primary 280M
/dev/hda3 X extanded 220M
/dev/hda5 swap logical 20M
/dev/hda6 ext2fs logical 200M
I'm not shure that you'll can read both of the dos paratition at the same
time. and do remember that the extended should be more then the 1024 and
then you'll have to use loadlin insted of lilo to boot the linux ... but
it'll work for you.
and .... buy the EIDE card (unless if your bios know what is "LARG" option
that mean that the heads will be 32 insted of the regular 16.
contact me if you'll have any problems ... :)
