David,

Good point about the partitions.

As M$ is pushing (U)EFI BIOS / Firmware this is going to become a real
problem. Booting EFI BIOS currently requires GPT partitions and GRUB2 or
elilo. (Or is it the other way around?) One big massive partition will
not work. A basic x86_64 system currently has 4 partitions
(bios_grub,boot,root,swap). No GUIDs in the fstab for GRUB2 on GPT either.

The last thing a Linux Distro needs to do is recreate DLL Hell.

Working / Puzzling out the JHBuild system,
Corbin
