Here's where I have trouble. I need 100 GB. So, 1 GB = 1000MB, so I
should enter 100x1000, no?
Anaconda crashes.
I can't believe that Anaconda is so broken, so it must be me.
Well, it was me, although not in the definition of GB. It turns out

within an allocated partition, sda4. After all, it said "free" :-).
Removing that partition permitted me to complete the allocation.
