     Here as far as I can get it is my 160GB hard drive map:

sda1 Windows
sda2 Old fedora Linux
sda3 Swap
sda4 Extended
sda5 small /home/karl
sda6 8.04
sda7 8.10
sda8 9.04
sda9 9.04 upgrade
sda10 small open
sda11 10.04
sda12 big /home/karl
sda13 large open

     If I must reload 10.04 I will take advantage of this to delete the 
small /home/karl and all versions except 8.05 and 10.04. This will be 
better.
