Dude...  The last time I installed DeadRat (for myself) that was exactly what 
it was...  along with the annoyance that s1-s3 are FDISK partitions (as in 
dos...) and the s4 is an fdisk (dos) extended partition, so that any further 
slicing is actually are actually 'virtual drives' inside of the s4 extended 
partition.

What a load of crap.  A unix-like filesystem overlaid on an MS-DOS 
partitioning scheme.

As usual, NQRFPT.
