Really? It's been a while since i hung out in #gentoo, but i was there pretty solidly for a couple of years and i don't recall any new user (to gentoo or linux) reporting in, saying they set up their disk(s) with all of those partitions. They pretty well always followed the "default partitioning scheme" listed in the table in 4.b (which is used for every other example on that chapter). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAk9yEVoACgkQAJxUfCtlWe3EtgEAwr62YTL812ehPurzTJWT1sqr SUQhJzybaLlY0Rf2T6ABANqOtXDK+IbRTjLw1fcfjGHqWuYUAfqYnYtniN5ztwHK =Vi2z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
