Fedora Core 6?
First Question: Fedora Core 7 is released, with improvements, so you should use it!





Drive topography, in depth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_(...





Simple and basic explanation:





Basically, the BIOS determines that there can be only four PRIMARY drives (or, partitions).





So, the trick was to make an Extended Partition, and have upto 23 Logical drives in that Extended Partition labeled "D through Z", minus what is assigned to primary partitions and/or DVD/CDroms.





The letters are similar across the Operating Systems, but, some are dropped in some OSes.





Not a good idea for power users. Example:





/dev/hda1 /dev is the usual mount point directory in the 'Nixes.





/dev/hd is an IDE hard drive


/dev/sd is a SCSI or removeable USB or Firewire drive. /dev/sda2 would be the second partition on the first recognized SCSI or USB or Firewire drive.





/dev/hda would be the master drive on the first or primary IDE channel /dev//hdb is the second drive on the primary IDE channel.





/dev/hdc is master or primary drive on the second IDE channel


/dev/hdd is slave or secondary drive on the IDE channel





For USB or SCSI or FireWire connected drives, it is by order of plug in sequence. First drive would be sda, second is sdb, then, sdc, etc.





Your /dev/sd5 is the first Extended Partition Logical SCSI or USB, or Firewire Drive, followed by partition SD6, then SD7. All partitions on a single plugged-in unit.
