I have not used a separate /boot partition in years and I always set up my / partition as a logical(extended) partition, on my 10.1 system it is a ReiserFS and on 10.2 (64) it is Ext3. There are some valid reasons to have a separate /boot so I am not advocating having or not having one. -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
