After reading this same response, oh... quite a few times now, I have to
wonder if anyone reads their e-mail all the way through before responding to
it.  That is, after all, good practice on a list.  You read all of the
message posted to the list so the same thing doesn't get repeated ten times
over.  Of course, I'll never forget fdisk /mbr now...
