2gb in a fat16 also means that you use 32k clusters, which in turn
means that you probably will waste 3/4 of your hard disk, unless you
store mostly large files on it, which is unlikely. and 2gb*(1-3/4) =
500 megs. :-/
having 6500 dos files on my hard disk, i'd waste nearly 100 megs. this
is a small hard disk. if my average filesize stays the same while i
install more programs, i'd end up wasting like 40% of the hard disk
(i'm currently using a 234 meg for dos and a 406 meg for unix)
