Now it is ok for us

    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1              64      614463      307200   83  Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2          614464    16777215     8081376   83  Linux
/dev/sda3        16777216    20971519     2097152   82  Linux swap / 
Solaris

But how do you know distinguish between people who need 
"msdos-compatibility" and those who don't?
