There is no reason to go with a smaller size, the space savings are insignificant. It is safe to guess that bootcode will never get smaller. I also recommend starting the first real partition at 1M. This also is frequently ignored. Here are my instructions: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html The wiki should be updated. Better yet, that section should be removed and the corrected procedure shown in the Handbook. > Also repartitioning could be problematic in certain scenarios.
