Roy as you've a lot of experience with Linux on older hardware
perhaps you can give me an authoratative response to the
following question?

Is an older, under 32 Gig limit, BIOS a limiting factor 
in setting up a Linux installation on a larger than 32 Gig hard drive?

My experience has been limited to a 6.4 Gig drive dual boot.
Next installation Linux only.
