It's just a different format of how the start of your hard disk is organized. I don't know about particular differences. If you can't find it on google, it is probably so obscure that you won't ever need it. Look at the article in wikipedia on partition types. You only need a different partition type than the default, if you have an other OS on the same hard disk that doesn't understand the default msdos. You should check the documentation of all your other OSes to find a partition type that is supported by all of them. It's good to know that debian also supports obscure stuff :-) Johannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGZlZSC1NzPRl9qEURAl6UAJwPZLa1+0ePigtrysD76vP1ECVEUACfTYDQ WcZ+eexljs/nOmD4pTs39Y4= =DfpO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
