Mea culpa, then. At least I knew what I was talking about wrt partition table and the actual slices. This diagram is just an example. There can be less slices, it doesn't show extended partitions (extended slices??? :), it suggests an ordering that is not necessary. If this is going to the FAQ or the handbook, a number of notes should be made to point out these (and possibly others I'm overlooking right now) issues. -- Daniel C.
