The 500MB recommendation is to assure FAT32 is used when formatting or so I've read. If you have a very large disk, 500MB is insignificant, but if I can use less like 100MB or 50MB on a basic one OS/one kernel system with only a 32GB eMMC that's a lot space not wasted. > My office laptop with Windows10 has something in the region of 100MB but > it is not dualboot. > > Debian uses about 6MB, MS about 26MB, plus a couple of megs for boot. > If space is really tight you might want to stick with 100MB in total. Thanks for the recommendation. B
