Is 200M on /boot enough for F12 *installation* (not upgrade)?
Ok, so preupgrade to F12 needs a 500M /boot. I have a 200M /boot, and I've been performing installs instead of upgrades since F10: I reformat / and /boot and leave /home alone. BTW: / and /home are LVM logical volumes. Can anyone confirm this will work with F12 as well or will I need to grow /boot to 500M? Release notes indicates that a separate /boot should be 300M...

Anecdotal evidence would suggest that you will be fine. I have yum upgraded my machine from F11 - Rawhide - F12 and I have a 200MB boot partition. It contains: [...@samlap ~]$ sudo du -x /boot [sudo] password for sam: 224 /boot/efi/EFI/redhat 226 /boot/efi/EFI 228 /boot/efi 271 /boot/grub 13 /boot/lost+found 49539 /boot So only 50MB in use... I think you will be OK, unless Anaconda is enforcing some kind of rule that isn't technically necessary. -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I think you will be OK, unless Anaconda is enforcing some kind of rule that isn't technically necessary. I hope so. I posted about this a couple of days ago, but got nothing conclusive: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2009-November/msg00117.html I was just looking for some confirmation from people who have been there, done that, before I tried it myself. Thks for sharing your experience. Anyone else? ;-) Regards, Andre -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I have 190MB in /boot and upgraded with no problems. I used the DVD though. I seem to remember the larger partition requirement is when you do a network upgrade. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I intend to install from the LiveCD[1] (worked like a charm with F11). Anyone tried this with F12 with a /boot = 200M?

The DVD != preupgrade. The issue[1] with not enough space on /boot is solely with preupgrade.
