Robert: Thank you very much for taking the time to read and respond to my post.

I did as you suggested, and ran the command:

true ; ( set -x
cat /etc/knoppix-version
cat /proc/partitions
cat /etc/fstab
sudo fdisk -l /dev/hd?
) >& result.txt



Here are the contents of "result.text":

FWIW, I am mildly curious about the "hda" unit. I presume that this is the "ramdisk"

Thank you again.
