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 this small handfull of files: System.map, System.map-2.2.15-4.mdk, boot.0300, boot.b, chain.b, initrd-2.2.15-4mdk.img, initrd.img, kernel.h, map, os2_d.b, us.klt, vmlinuz, vmlinuz-2.2.15-4mdk, and finally the Grub folder (which I'm not booting with - I'm using LILO). My question is this - could I create a folder of the same name and put all these files into it so that I could finally put this partition to use for something else? Can anyone tell me if this could easily and safely be done? I'd like to avoid tampering with my partition sizes if I could. My partition table didn't react too well to that the last time I did that. Thanks!!!
