Bob, I don't have Linux handy, but my web search showed you can use:

  sfdisk -s

through the shell to get the list of partitions and their sizes (I think you
need to be logged in as root). It will come up with something like this:

   /dev/hda: 12345678
   /dev/hdb: 45678901
   total:  92929292

Drives aren't "named" per se, but they can be identified in this way,
AFAICT.
