Yes. Like I posted before (and explained in the article I linked), if you |
| 11 |
turn off the compatibility mode, you can push it down to 63. |

Not recommended, though. Not only will you lose compatibility with Windows, |
| 14 |
but also you'll only gain slightly less than 1MiB. And who knows in the |
| 15 |
future something absofuckinlutely requires the first partition to begin at |
| 16 |
sector 2048. |

So, IMO, disabling the DOS compatibility gives one too small a gain that's |
| 19 |
worth the (possible) headache in the future. |
