What if I create a smaller boot partition? What exactly would I face? Can't buy two HDDS for that PC! Any pointers on web-resources on this issue for further study. I've got twelve machines with 10 GB HDDs, which are all wearing out one by one and I had thought of replacing them with higher capacities..higher the better, except for this issue. Pointers on research on this issue would be much appreciated. With regards & thanks.
