Re: disk partitions

	Hi David,

	It's more or less under the first 500 MB. You can find more info reading
the large-disk-howto, which refers to the affairs of huge disks and old
BIOSes (quite nasty problems, to tell you the truth).
	You can also get more info with Linux's fdisk.

	Hope that helps,

	Ignasi
