- This has got to be an easy question, but I cannot find the answer.
-
- During the installation script linux says to make a partition. It
- asks for the first cyl (says "(1-820)") and I tell it 1. It then asks
- for the last cly (says "enter last cyl or +size +sizeM +sizeK
- (1-820)") and I tell it 820. It says "Warning: partition 1 has an odd
- number of sectors". It says this no matter what I put for the last
- cyl. What can this be?
