The /boot partition on my Redhat 6.2 is 10M, and I have well more than 5M free. /boot doesn't take up a whole lot of room. Make the /boot partition smaller, and use the rest of the space for other partitions (/, /var, etc). Also, I believe the WD bootable program is the EZ Drive program. if your BIOS is recent (within the last 2 years), you don't need the EZ Drive. The BIOS should know about drives bigger than 8G. If it was over 32G, then you might need a BIOS upgrade (I did, on my Asus motherboard). -- *-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-*-^-* Michael Leone <mailto:mleone@joemagee.com> PGP Fingerprint: 0AA8 DC47 CB63 AE3F C739 6BF9 9AB4 1EF6 5AA5 BCDF -- ______________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group - http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements-http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mail/listinfo/plug
