- hi everyone,
-
- i am trying to install linux.
-
- i tried to make file system but it doesn't work.
-
- i have a 110MB harddisk and i use the whole thing as one partition for LINUX
-
- then i did: mkfs /dev/hda1 147700 (something like that)
-
- and it said that the limit of the number of blocks is 65535.
-
- so how can i utilize the whole hard disk for linux?
-
- do i have to make several partitions?
-
- peter
