[plug] linux boot partition and size?

[Craig Reynolds]

I decided to go ahead with the install, an came across an interesting
problem. When it comes to copying the install image to the hard drive I get
an error which says that the likely cause is lack of space on the partition.
This is empty, and the error appears after copying varying amounts of data,
so its got me stumped.

In regards to the intial boot boundary, according to the warning message for
that, my bios does not support booting above 1024, which i figure shouldn't
be a problem, since lilo will be in the MBR.

Anyone got any ideas, or should I just devote the entire hard drive to linux
for the moment?
