You misread this, Peter. I did not write that the partition needed to be
500 MB large, just thet is needed to be within the first 500 MB of the
drive. In fact, I usually make it the first partition, and make it anywhere
from 10 to 50 MB, depending on specifics of the system (mainly, of course,
how many different kernels I expect to have on it at any time ... normal
systems will, as you suggest, do fine with 10 MB or even less ... also how
big the hard disk is).
