Yes, but you have to take care when you update the kernel.
Kernels have to be in the first 8.4 GB of a harddisk. (This is not a Linux
bug, but a BIOS pro

Hey Axalon !
Boy I'm always glad to get responses from you...(not that I'm mind the rest)
So your saying:
/ boot = 20 meg
/ = a lot of harddrive then swap?
swap
Does LM know what to put in /boot
if not, during the install what should I put in /boot?
is this my mount point?
does LIL
Holy Smoke!
Well, make a /boot partition to avoid the problem for LILO. Say

root (/) partition. Of course if you choose "Workstation", then instal
