All IN this long diatribe about root file system no one has mentioned one of the true got ya's - that is the symbolic links of GRUB/LILO.

Read the FHS which can be found at pathname.com. I don't think anyone's managed to put /boot on anything but a bare partition, at least on Intellish hardware. The system boot code has to be able to be found and able to find the kernel & initial ramdisk. /lib must be in the root filesystem, as must some others: see the FHS for details. /usr can be ro and shared. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
