hi everyone,

i am trying to install linux.

i tried to make file system but it doesn't work.

i have a 110MB harddisk and i use the whole thing as one partition for LINUX

then i did: mkfs /dev/hda1 147700 (something like that)

and it said that the limit of the number of blocks is 65535.

so how can i utilize the whole hard disk for linux?

do i have to make several partitions?
