Why?  There's no technical reason.  I'm beginning to fear that this is
just an assumption made by the program's original author, to make the
program easier to write and run, that is now giving me this problem.  I
feel that I should be able to start with a disk like the one on the
left, create a disk like the one on the right (or even more inconsis-
tent!), and be able to create a LiLo boot disk or boot block that
correctly boots the second disk when it is swapped in for the first
disk.

	DOS		0 - 200 Mb	0 - 300 Mb
	Linux boot	200 - 350 Mb	300 - 450 Mb
	Linux local	350 - 450 Mb	450 - 550 Mb
	Linux swap	450 - 500 Mb	550 - 650 Mb
	Linux local	-		650 - 1200 Mb
