I have a IBM Thinkpad t20. It has a 12 gig hard drive (11.2 after formatting). But I'm trying to install linux redhat 6.0. However, disk druid only seems to only recognize the first 1023 cylinders and caps the hard drive at about 7.5 gigs. Caldera's OpenLinux does the same thing in its own installation. Dos Fdisk doesn't seem to have a problem. Any ideas?
 
Yeah, Old linux's don't see all space on such a huge hard disk. Just install the linux and upgrade your programs or just get a new distibution/linux.
