	Okay, I partitioned it with fdisk, using all available sectors. ie the
last partition; /home or sda9 used up whatever was left. With fdisk v I
found out there are still 5475 unallocated sectors. 12'161 were
allocated to partitions sda1-9. The install still only reports 93GB
available. Am I on the right track with GRUB?
