Another thing... Do you mean that Linux does not install if forced to
install itself beyond the first 4 gb of the HDD? Not true... Mine used
to run AFTER allocating 4 GB purely to FAT 16.

Or do you mean that Linux will not install on a total space of more than
4 GB. But a server installation on my machine went smoothly when
dedicated whole 8 GB to it [I experimented a lot]

Anyone, Binand, PLEASE?
