Ah, I see. Well, I would have left about 100mb at the end of the drive had
I partitioned on the desktop anyway, so that wouldn't have been a problem.
Actually, I'm glad I know that, since I would have left the 100mb if I
partitioned on the Libretto. I guess I shouldn't do that if the BIOS is
setting aside the space for me =)
