yes, but people not knowing how to do fdisk -l may use buggy option or
try using fdisk for other work, better warn :-)

not quite of judgement. I used a 9Gb partition (the previous system
disk "save" one) for openSUSE 11.0 and had serious problems. think
that you may have a dvd image in tmp if you use default k3b.... odd :-(

of course I have also a puppy linux in 500 *Mo*

new disks uses 4k, anyway.
for testing purpose I use 8Gb virtualbox disks, half home, it's not
enough to use factory (if you need to compile modules, new kernels are
big :-()
