I habitually select none, and add what I need when I realise it's missing, so I'll leave this to someone with an opinion on the matter .. > 2.

Whichever languages you (and your users, if any) expect to need. locales are defined as language_country, ie en_GB for English/Great Britain, and en_US for English/United States (.. de_DE for Deutsch/Deutschland, etc) > 3.

What do I do about this? short story - they're the same number, worked out differently long story - A megabyte was originally 1024*1024 bytes. With the newer "SI binary prefix", a megabyte is 1000*1000 bytes and a MiB (mebibyte) is 1024*1024 bytes. 14451.82 * 1000*1000 = 14451820000 bytes 13782.00 * 1024*1024 = 14451474432 bytes So it'd appear cfdisk is using the modern definition of MB, and windows, the older definition. imho the numbers are close enough that the remaining discrepency is simply rounding differences. ( see http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html for details on the new "binary prefixes") > Thank you in advance for any help.
