I am getting something very similar to this (if not identical) and have
chosen to ignore it as well.  So far there have been no ill effects on
my machine -- anyone know what it means?

I am pleased so far, but I did make one 'mistake' that means I have to
install again -- when I get a chance.  I used the minimum size
(12000 blocks - 512k, I think) for the root partition and after 
extracting all the binaries there were only 6 blocks left.
