Ah, thanks. I was under the impression that anaconda required a /boot, like anaconda requires a swap partition which makes it hard if you want to setup a swapfile instead later during the install. I also use LVM for my installs, which I believe needs a /boot since grub can't as of yet boot off of a LV (and forget it if that LV's VG is on a MD), so I hadn't seen a kickstart that didn't have a /boot. -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
