[vox-tech] Partition Questions Part 2

[Robert G. Scofield]

It appears that Disk Druid works in terms of megabytes, and that Fdisk works in terms of blocks.  I can think in terms of megabytes, but I can't think in terms of blocks.  What is a block?  What is the ratio between megabytes and blocks; that is, how many bytes are in a block or how many blocks are in a megabyte?

I'm not sure about this, but I read something like LILO has to be installed below the 1204th cylinder.  What is a cylinder?

Fdisk has entries like this:  Start 149    End 620.  Do these numbers refer to cylinders?  If not, how do you know if you're below 1204 (or whatever the number is)?

How do you know which numbers to start from and which numbers to end at when you are creating partitions on Fdisk?

Thank you.

Bob
