[ILUG-BOM] Significance of 1024 cylinders during Linux installation

Hai Everyone, While installing linux, I was prompted to have the primary partition within the first 1024 cylinders. What is the significance of this message? This happened when I was installing in dual OS mode with Win 2000 as the other OS. This never happened with the previous versions of windows. Is it to do anything with the partition size. If yes, then why not with other versions of windows as I could install linux having win98 with the same size partitions. Advance thanks for your answer. Sudhir
