 df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5              63G   11G   49G  18% /
tmpfs                 506M     0  506M   0% /dev/shm

none                  5.0M  2.8M  2.3M  55% /dev


Where does the /dev/sda3 come from then?  I know(think...)
that /dev/sda4 is my extended partition.  Sorry, this is all new to me
so I am trying to learn as fast as I can.  Thanks!
