When I did all this, I don't think any of these posts from you had come around yet. I have a 64 mb swap on tha back end of the drive and two 10 gig linux native partitions. I will have to move all my stuff onto the second partition and re do the first one as you suggest. I thought I had tried that on another large drive some time ago without success but can't hurt to try again since lilo is newer.
