Is that so? 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.
