Fdisk reports: 

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 784 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             1      262  2104483+   b  Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2   *       263      654  3148740   83  Linux native
/dev/hda3           655      671   136552+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda4           672      784   907672+  83  Linux native

I can't find anything in the man page to explain what the "+" refers to 
after the number.

Is there anything I can do to make it at least work as well as it has 
been?  Given a choice (which I may not be given, it seems. <grin>) I'd 
rather not format and redo the install as it's been considerably 
customized away from the Debian install.

One more this to scribble in my Hurd notes. =)
