I have no idea what legal problems your talking about. But reinstall
hint got me on the right track to understanding why one would separate
things. So 4 partitions is max with 1 able to be partitioned again? That
is a little confusing, partition a partition?

Parted -l gives me 2 primary partitions but the first one starts at
32.3kb? 

[root@localhost ~]# parted -l
Model: ATA SAMSUNG SV6003H (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 60.1GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End     Size    Type     File system  Flags
 1      32.3kB  107MB   107MB   primary  ext3         boot 
 2      107MB   60.1GB  59.9GB  primary               lvm
