Arrrgh!!!  SpotOn stinks!  I can create partitions and initialize
them but I can *not* leave some free space in the disk not touched
or change partition type after initializing them or...
I must say, if your dealer tells me they're shipping SpotOn as the
disk formatter, you should refuse it.  It's not worth paying $50
bucsk which I paid for...

At least I was warned in README :)

SpotOn can't do this...

Yes, with a descent disk formatter... :(  I made one large partition
so there shouldn't be problems anymore...

Thanks for your help.
