Partition Limits

[Ahbaid Gaffoor <ahbaidg guyana net gy>]

Hi all,

is there a limit on the number of partitions you can place on an ide
hard drive?

I'm running a machine booting between:

98, NT, and RedHat, I wanted to add a fourth Linux variant,

I think the most I was allowed to partition on ide0 (/dev/hda) was four
partitions and the same for
ide1 (/dev/hdb)...

The machine has two 8 Gig Seagate IDE drives running as master and slave
on the
primary ide interface, hence /dev/hda and /dev/hdb

Also, can I re-use the swap partition for Redhat Linux in the other
Linux (Turbo Linux)....

Thanks,

Ahbaid.
