However, Linux does use a sort of drive letter. FD, HDA, HDB, etc. A, C, D, etc are shorter designations. Especially when you have to add the partition number, FD0, HDA1, HDA2, HDB1, HDB2, etc. It's all in how you keep track of them.
Your analogy is incorrect. A drive letter is a *logical* construct, not a physical one. There's no direct comparison to *nix device names, especially now that we've had 2000 and XP, where it's extremely simple to rearrange the drive letters without changing the partitioning scheme. -- Marc Wilson | "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye msw@cox.net | of a needle if it is lightly greased." -- Kehlog | Albran, "The Profit" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
