[newbie] Dumping my 1.4 GB /boot?

2000-09-07 Thread Brisco County Jr.
When I installed Linux Mandrake 7.1 it created a boot partition of about 1.4 GB, which is now mostly a wasteland. I've since learned that not only did it not need to be more than 5 MB or so, starting with LM 7.1 you don't even need a /boot partition at all! But in checking it now, it contains

[newbie] DOSEMU: How to start in 7.1?

2000-08-29 Thread Brisco County Jr.
