Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| Hi, i've bought a 4GB uSD and i've partitioned it to try and test a lot
| of distro, done 10 partitions (1 for kernel and 1 extended for logical
| partitions) booted and.... only 7 partitions shown, no prob, i've read

| P.S. I'd like to buy an 8GB uSD but i can't live with only 7
| partitions :D

This is a limit in the MMC code in Linux, it doesn't make sense for us
to patch around that.

It's good to "try a lot of distros" but at any one time, surely only two
or three will be "keepers".
