To what extend does the /boot have to match the / ? Cab I use the /boot within the / for the old system to boot the / for the new system? As long as I take care to keep it updated with enough extra kernels and stuff? Or, more plausibly, would it be enough for /boot to be outside LVM on RAID? Or does all of / have to be there? -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
