The latest version of the installer also checks up to 32 partitions
when trying to find "unix" partitions.  I have not repartitioned my
drives to verify the code(That would be exceedingly painful.... :-( ).
But, the logic looks ok.  If someone with huge numbers of partitions
could download the new version and verify that it works, I would
appreciate it.

p.p.s.  I am still working on further enhancements presumably ready by the
        end of the month.  I wouldn't have released this now except it might
        solve a couple of the problems recently posted to the list...

Yes, it works fine with Usr slices.  I have multiple of them....
