Notes:
1. "Type" is the default file system type. It can be changed via the "-t"
parameter of the "mount" command.
2. We had asked that /dev/hda3 (/ntfs1) be mounted at boot time when
we installed the system, but /ntfs1 does not appear in the /etc/fstab.
3. We were unable to determine how Linux referenced the Zip drive.
4. For further information regarding sound cards, refer to the file
/usr/doc/HOWTO/Sound-HOWTO.
