backuping partition tables



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


Hi all

Looking at /usr/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz I understand that 
from 446 byte offset (starting at 0) to 509 (including them) there is stored
the partition table wich holds primary and extended partitions 
(all in 64 bytes) but the question is where are located partition tables of
extended partitions (logical partitions)?

I suposse that location of this tables are not at fixed area on the disks
and depends on the extended partition location... but where? and What's the
size of these extended partition tables?

Any comment or suggestion will be greatly appreciated,

	regards,
