This reminds me: I *always* install with a GPT partition table, an

happy to install this way (assuming you can figure out how to
partition the disk like that in the first place) and booting that way
in BIOS or EFI mode. Given that this wastes at most a few MB, should
anaconda just partition like that by default?
Definitely not. We tried doing BIOS installs to GPT disks by default in
Fedora 16, and it was basically a complete disaster.
