Hello,

Thinking about the isntallation issues, I have 2 concerns:
First one.
What should be the size left over the 1st partition of the disk for
the MBR? I may not have enough size.
Is it documented?

MBR is pre-reserved space at the front of the disk, before the
first partition. AFAIK you can't put a partition there, so you've
no need to worry about it.
I do not think so.
If there is not enough room in front of the first partition, the MBR is not going to
fit. I already had this glitch.
For example:
fdisk -l /dev/sda
/dev/sda1            4096     6008309     3002107   82  Linux swap / Solaris
gives enough room for the MBR, but

fdisk -l /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb1              63    24981074    12490506    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
probably does not give me enough room to fit properly a MBR
