I was trying to install Red Hat Linux on my roommate's new computer. It has
a big hard drive, 10 Gigs. fips happily cut off 2 gigs from the end for
linux. However, fdisk seemed to get really confused when i tried to create
partitions in the empty space. As far as I can tell, it didn't know how to
work past the first 1024 cylinders (I think it was cylinders, sorry if
that's wrong; hardware's not really my thing). How do I work around this?

Thanks,
chad
