quick lesson in calculating disk space needed



If my fdisk -l looks like this:

Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 35694 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1             1         5     40131   de  Dell Utility
/dev/sda2             6       332   2626627+  8e  Linux LVM
/dev/sda3   *       333       345    104422+  83  Linux
/dev/sda4           346     35694 283940842+   f  Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5           346     21245 167879218+  83  Linux
/dev/sda6         21246     28211  55954363+  83  Linux
/dev/sda7         28212     35178  55962396   83  Linux
/dev/sda8         35179     35309   1052226   83  Linux
/dev/sda9         35310     35440   1052226   83  Linux
/dev/sda10        35441     35694   2040223+  82  Linux swap

Would it be correct to calculate the amount of disk space on my system by multiplying 16065 times 512, and then multiplying that result by 35694?
