Specifically, it's mke2fs that sets it up that way. You can change
the precentage reserved with something like `tune2fs -m 1 /dev/hda12'
(which will make it 1%) but you can only do that to an umounted
filesystem, so you'll need to boot off of floppies to do that to your
/ filesystem. There are some other options you can alter as well
... `man tune2fs' for more info.
