Ok all that should be GB,   so its a 160gb hard disk,   what my question
was is why would it not let me create a 100 gb partition and made it 110
gb,  when i told it to make it 100gb,   so I had space at the end for
the 10gb swap partition.

Anyway 12.04 is up and running,  i need to get wireless working,   so
not sure why when I am sure it worked out of the box with 11.10,  and below.

Separate home, i was under the impression this made life easier and was
the right way to do things (been using linux for years), if I want to
wipe / later on and install something else, I can do, and it will leave
/home intact and not wipe the data from it,
