Mandrake 7 did that without asking me. the Linux are the last partitions
on the drive, and ofcourse during install I asked it to mount /, /boot
and /home, but after I booted I had all of them in my fstab, like so:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/DOS_sda1 vfat user,exec,conv=auto 0 0
/dev/sda5 /mnt/DOS_sda5 vfat user,exec,conv=auto 0 0
(yes, no spaces or tabulation)
that's not /c and /d, but it's closer to utopia with each distro version
:-)
