fdisk gives this when I ask for the partition table (working from Knoppix of
course):
Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/hda1 * 1 9 72261 0 Empty
[...]
/dev/hda5 1 9 72229 83 Linux
I'd originally set /dev/hda1 as boot, and Mandrake decided to call
it /dev/hda5. I was not impressed.

"Sharpened hands are happy hands.
"Brim the tinfall with mirthful bands"
- A Deepness in the Sky, Vernor Vinge
"I me. Shape middled me. I would come out into hot!"
I from the spicy that day was overcasked mockingly - it's a symbol of the
other horizon. - emacs : meta x dissociated-press
