[wplug] 1024 cylinders

[Gonffen]

That's good to know.  Does anybody know if there is a way of installing
Slackware Linux 7 w/o changing the active partition?  Last time this
happened...  The computer couldn't boot regularly and when I made the
Windoze partition the active again... well.. it corrupted my license...
which was not fun.

This depends on the disk geometry, so there is no definite answer.

If you are worrying about booting past the 1024th cylinder, as long as 
you are using later versions of LILO or GRUB, then it shouldn't be a 
problem.  Modern hardware doesn't suffer from such problems.
