I want to ads another primary partition, will this fu*k up my partition 
numbering?

I currently have: (output from parted print)
Minor    Start       End     Type      Filesystem  Flags
2          0.031  59914.292  primary   fat32       lba
1      59914.292  60016.267  primary   ext3        boot
3      60016.267 107418.999  extended              lba
5      60016.298  61012.485  logical   linux-swap
6      61012.516  71515.920  logical   ext3
7      71515.951  72614.113  logical   ext3
8      72614.145  83117.548  logical   ext3        boot
9      83117.580  84215.742  logical   ext3
10     84215.773  94719.177  logical   ext3
11     94719.208  95817.370  logical   ext3
12     95817.401 106320.805  logical   ext3
13    106320.836 107418.999  logical   ext3

If I add one using parted wil it be /dev/hdb4 and sit after all the 
others? Or should I move everything along a bit and get it in nearer the 
front - make any difference?

(don't tell anyone but I'm doing this to try out BSD ;-)

Thanks - Duncan
