I see what you're saying now, they are recommending it even if you don't |
| 15 |
use GPT, using a DOS partition table instead? I don't see the sense in |
| 16 |
that because you cannot set the appropriate partition type anyway with a |
| 17 |
DOS partition table? I suppose it could make switching to GPT at a later |
| 18 |
date less painful. |
