Just as a side note here, anyone trying to install DragonFly
onto a machine with other partitions should ALWAYS do a full
backup of their disk, bit-for-bit, since clearly it is possible
to accidently wipe other partitions during the install.
One easy way to do this would be to purchase an external USB hard
drive (preferably usb2.0) large enough to hold the data, boot the
DragonFly CD, and (carefully) use dd to make a bit-for-bit copy
to the external drive.
