My past recollection of slices/partitions wrt differences in them between FreeBSD and Linux tend me to believe you cannot compare the two since the system which handles them is highly different. IIRC Linux allows you to install into extended partitions. I cannot remember that we supported (or that it is even possible) with FreeBSD. Of course, this may all have changed and I have not been paying attention. =) -- Jeroen Ruigrok vd W/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl|freebsd.org] Documentation nutter/B-rated Coder BSD: Technical excellence at its best The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Ain't gonna spend the rest of my Life, quietly fading away...
