dmesg -l

Yeah, I know, the flappy is bad!

Partition table entries are not in disk order
knoppix at 0[knoppix]$          

The disk order hasn't been correct for a long time,
about a year!! And that seemingly hasn't mattered. 

I just played around and got some of the partitions,
deleted and others expanded to cover the deleted
partitions. Now the former hde7 is hde6 and still wont
mount.   
               

Cyclists should expect and demand safe 
accommodation on our public roads, 
just as does every other user.  

Nothing more is expected. 

Nothing less is acceptable!

Long live Knoppix!!
