OK, /dev/hda3 will be scanned (which means you can put
your /baslin directory on D: if you want).

I'm putting down one vote for /dev/hda2.  If there
aren't a lot of votes for other options, I'll do
/dev/hda2 (and you can use D: on that compuer too).

/dev/hda5 might be a good choice.  MSDOS systems
(which I think do only one primary partition per HD)
will probably end up with D: on /dev/hda5. 
Comments anybody?
