Hi Denis,

The /boot partition isn't needed at all in 7.1 ? While I didn't try 
otherwise during the install, I thought you would be required to indicate 
a  " /  "and  " /boot  " partition, at a minimum, just that the /boot did 
not need to be above 1024 cylinders. What would you do during the 
installation , to indicate where you boot from ?

Thnx,
philomena
