Hi Rob, If it helps, I normally have the Compaq partition, followed by a /boot partition of about 20MB, a swap partition, and a / partition (or extended, with /home /var etc.) I install LILO in the MBR, and set a LILO boot option to point to the F10 partition (DOS). This works on every Compaq I've installed Linux on, from 486 & pentium PCs, and servers from SystemPro upwards.
