    Hmm. Possible, and maybe I can experiment with the idea a bit.
    How much space do I need for an installation that all goes into one place?

    My immediate problem would be that that space is not currently available
    on hda - the normal boot device. I was also worried about the
    1024-Cylinder problem, although I guess that's now a non-issue.

    If you have any knowledge of the internals of the installer process,
    could there also be problems because of trying to set permissions on
    something in /target/var/cache/... ? That's a vfat partition at present
    and would not fully support file permissions. I don't know to what
    extent the driver "fakes" it. My ability to experiment with that is
    rather more limited but I'll see.
