What I mean is this:

When I "fdisk" -l I get:

/dev/sdb1      1         338     2714953+  82  Linux swap
/dev/sdb2   *  339        5560    41945715   83  Linux
/dev/sdb3      5561       12087    52428127+  83  Linux

There's a crafty little script running around somewhere that gives you 
the fdisk readout plus the partition labels when you run it:

/dev/sdb1      1         338     2714953+  82  Linux swap
/dev/sdb2   *  339        5560    41945715   83  Linux    Fedora9-32
/dev/sdb3      5561       12087    52428127+  83  Linux   Fedora9-64

I "think" someone provided this in the web forum but I've been unable to 
locate it.
