I am trying to install Yard-SQL from the SuSE Linux 6.0
CD-ROMs.  Part of the installaion instructions, concerning
the cfg file, state that:

'The device /dev/ryard3 is just an example for using a
raw device.

Some operating systems (eg Linux) do not have raw devices.
Use block devices in these cases.'

The cfg lines to which this refers are:

# dbspace    device       size    offset
F ROOTDBS    /dev/ryard3  200000  0

Can somebody please explain what 'raw devices' and 'block devices'
are, and what I should put in the cfg file?
