Hi!
Let me explain why sometimes Only a 2GB FAT16 and sometimes the Entire Drive as
FAT32.
On real hardware, the user is most likely going to want to multi-boot other operating systems. Therefore by default, when the Installer creates the partition it will limit it to 2GB. Again, this should be plenty. But, it is also easy to make it larger manually.
This is not efficient. You cannot make 2 GB FAT16 partitions larger,
because those already are the largest and most inefficient size of
FAT16. Even on smaller drives, FAT32 can already be more efficient
because clusters are smaller and you can have more files.
FAT32 is easier to resize to any size between 33 MB and 2 TB ;-)
Either way, please do at least avoid creating MULTIPLE FAT16 partitions.
