Hey, somewhat of a new linux user here. I installed 9.04 netbook edition on my brother's hp mini 1000 and after quite a bit of work getting the sound to work (thanks to these forums and bug reports), I noticed that his 32 gig hard drive only shows 27gig capacity. With XP, it had 30.something. Is that normal? I couldn't find any hint of a partition and during the install I did the "install on total disc" or whatever the option was. Thanks for the help. I did some searching for this but couldn't find anything. Thanks.
