I was aware of differences of concepts between the systems,
and the need for some introductory precautions, so I
marked the sentence as FIXME. You also raise an alarm on GPT
partitions and LVM both of which should probably be excluded
from the procedure (I have no personal experience about them).
Maybe you can suggest an introduction, avoiding unnecessary
details ?
