Again why?  What's the difference between a small / and a 1.8GB (byte not
bit) one?  There is nothing here to back this up.  Not enough space is
not enough space reguardless how much you started out with.

Why would I be so concerned?  If I don't expect to need that 15M then,
I've sized my partition just right.  Don't put cares in my basket that 
don't need to be there.  More uninstatiated opions.
