Many thanks for all suggestions.

1)  Lilo: will look at a bit later, currently creating DVD restore. Ditto
     the Debian encryption choices.

2)  Will run gparted externally

3)  For amusement, battery life after fully charged overnight: 3 Hrs 25

     Turned off Aero:   5 hrs 29
     Removed MS Works and mcafee:       10 hrs 27

4)  I need Microsoft .NET and probably Silverlight as some websites seem to
     demand both

     Any thoughts on deleting any of the following:
     MS office suite activation? (Presumably this is junk)
     MS SQL Server 2005 compact edition? (why would they include this?)
     MS Visual C++ 2005 redistributable? (why would they include this?)

     Can anyone think of an advantage of MS Live or MyWinLocker?
