With Debian I never really know what version some things are.  Looking a bit 
more carefully at the repository, I see that Grub 2 is version 1.95, my 
inattention, sorry.

I think you can make it only as small as one track of the disk, so it will 
depend on the disk capacity?  Maybe I am just using the wrong partitioning 
tool.

At any rate I have 3 small partitions at the start of the drive and Mythbuntu 
installed in 2 LVM logicals. That part is ok but the mythtv backend refuses 
to work so far. No problem like this before with mythtv. Hopefully my error 
will show up.
