Re: Was: backup of the whole hd Now: Partition type significant?

Today, I looked at my partitions from the Linux side, and now I see
that pdisk says the same thing.. do ya see in the list below (from
Tamas), how the Linux type is Apple_UNIX_SVR2 . . . well, mine is
Apple_Bootstrap -- I made the Linux partition bootable.

Is that bad?
