Subject: Advice on 32MB partition limit wanted

I've seen some scattered talk about ways around the 32MB partition limit.
I will be getting a 200MB IDE drive based system (Gateway 2000) very soon
and would like to avoid DOS 4.0? and the associated DOSSHELL crap.  I'd
also like to avoid having 7 partitions.  I think 2 sounds like what I
want to work with (just guessing at the moment).

So what I am looking for is a roundup of information on the variety of
methods to get around the 32MB partition limitations.  It would be nice
if the disadvanges and/or tradeoffs of these different methods were also
explained.  Commercial products should identify the vendor the best possible
and maybe even recent prices.

Thanks.
