28 As you can see, the only primary partition is sda2, where Windows XP is. I
29 really don't know if Windows supports booting from a logical partition, and I
30 don't want to take the time to test it.
31
32 sda5 is my /boot
33 sda6 (lvm) has swap, root, usr, var, home, and so on...
34 sda7 and up are ubuntu, rxart, and others.
