I've done three more installations: 1. Set partitionsize to: 2000 MB -> displays during installation: 1.9 GB after the installation -> df -m /dev/hda1 -> 1788 (1M-blocks) -> df -h /dev/hda1 -> 1.8 G -> df -H /dev/hda1 -> 1.9 G 2. Set partitionsize to: 2048 MB -> displays during installation: 2.0 GB after the installation -> df -m /dev/hda1 -> 1831 (1M-blocks) -> df -h /dev/hda1 -> 1.8 G -> df -H /dev/hda1 -> 2.0 G 3. Set partitionsize to: 2.0 GB -> displays during installation: 1.9 GB after the installation -> df -m /dev/hda1 -> 1788 (1M-blocks) -> df -h /dev/hda1 -> 1.8 G -> df -H /dev/hda1 -> 1.9 G So it looks like the partitioner uses the 2GB = 2000000000 B system (like the harddisk vendors do), instead of 2 GB = 2147483648 B. Shouldn't the partitioner during the installation use the "correct" system so that 2.0 GB in the partitioner creates a real (approximately) 2048 MegaByte parition?
