True. This is an "overhang" (I believe) from the days before M$ programers 
realised that you can use the thumbs and fingers of both hands to count!
But my hda has 10 partitions to accomodate both Mepis and Debian, all set up 
with GParted and reference to books on Linux.
Hda1 - 3 are Mepis,  hda4 (the last Partition of 60 Gigs) is Extended, and 
subdivides into hda5 - 10. This is for Debian.
So it can be done.
