I'll erase my windows partition and merge it with gentoo's one. I'll
end up with ~15Gb for gentoo... which seems to be fairly acceptable. In a future stage, I might convert my share partition from FAT32 to a linux like. By the way, I use reiserfs

udev is a virtual filesystem, it's using 808K of memory, not 252M of disk
