		Hi there folx,


	I've found that using "basic" geometry of 1023/64/32
	for SCSI HD with  1Gb capacity and just adjusting the first
	value for other capacities , one can get painless install .
	Foe example , if you install 4Gb HDD - we multiply 1023 by 4
	and use 4092/64/32 Geometry.
	For 300Mb SCSI disk we use (Int(1023/3.3))/64/32 and so on.

	Worked for me in all cases

	Rashid
