That is fine for a dos only system. I was planning to use grub and add a section for freedos. So that I would boot Suse(default) PCDOS and FreeDOS each on their own partitions. I was filling up my small 9 gig /home partition so I added a 40gig drive half of which is the new /home. I now have a 9 gig primary partition hda4 to use. I can not push it into the extended partition because PCDOS only sees 8gig. If freedos has overcome these limitations then it will work, otherwise Ill have to wait for the next major suse release then I can free up the small drive. One question can Freedos use such large partitions and can it use other than hda1 which is the first partition on the first drive where PCDOS must reside?
