I am working on further improvements of sysinst's "extended partitioning"
part (first step: so that it works reasonably with > 2TB disks). Mostly
there, but will need a week or two for final steps and more testing.

Of course I am not able to test all the millions of combinations you can
combine (and can't easily test booting most of them anyway), so expect
some fallout and need for more bugfixing.
