Well, I did a little fips and fdisking when I installed 1.1, and based
on what I saw, I think it'll be more like:
Projected
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1 200 ....... 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/hda4 201 201 413 ....... 83 Linux native
/dev/hda2 414 414 799 389088 83 Linux native
/dev/hda3 800 800 825 26208 82 Linux swap
I think you should have an alternate plan if this is what you get. Of
course, I may have done something stupid...
