This brings me to questions that puzzle me. Is that 128MB while in
fdisk or actual.
If this doesn't make sense it is that when I use 128MB in fdisk, the
partition ends
up becoming 130+ megs. Of course, if I use more than 128MB in fdisk I
still get the
same 130+ megs. But it would be nice to know for sure.
Thanks.
