[xubuntu-users] Xubuntu Feisty - Herd 3 install question

[Adam Miller]

I don't personally know anything of a new naming scheme for feisty, I have
always been under the impression that sda means SATA or SCSI (and as it
appears to be usb thumb drive also) .... I really don't think it would fry
your drive, but better to stay on the side of caution.

Do you remember who told you it was a naming scheme in the irc channels?
Depending on who said it, it might very well be a completely valid statement
(certain people who are on irc seem to know these things because they are
more closely involved with the development cycle than others.

Sorry I don't have a good solid answer for you, I am about to start Herd 3
testing myself today so I might have some more insight into this later.
