I've tested the current daily build (from August 11th, 2004) and observed that the same strange behaviour exists. I agree that other installers e.G. the one from Windows 2000 also round the partition size but they don't take full 100 MB slices. So I don't think that this happens just because of a rounding of the partition size. A rounding doesn't explain why the size 1.3 GB show as 1.3 GB but the others mentioned don't. A "downsizing" of exact 0.1 GB (so around 100 MB) is a lot for the explanation with the rounding. If I enter the size 2 GB in MB, so 2048 MB it creates a partition of 2 GB, so I think there exists a bug at this point and I would assume a reopening of this bug report makes sense.
