Unless you've got an excellent idea of your disk partitioning: no. It
saved my disk once to have the sheet of paper lying around with the
megabyte figures i've entered in sysinstall... running sysinstall
again did (of course) repartition it exactly the same way. But that's
certainly a very minor chance.
