Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that you can do the following, if you don't want to split your disk up into more partitions than necessary: Device Filesystem Size Mountpoint Contains ----------------------------------------------------- /dev/sda1 ext2 5mb /kernels kernels only /dev/sda2 ext2 8gb / Everything /dev/sda3 swap 100mb none Swap space lilo.conf then looks something like ------------- boot=/dev/sda root=/dev/sda2 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=50 read-only image=/kernels/vmlinuz label=linux image=/kernels/vmlinuz-33 label=linux-33 It's my guess that this would work, though I haven't tried it; I'm planning on doing so the next time I set up a machine with a single large drive, so let me know if it doesn't ;) You'd have to make sure you copied your kernels into the right place, of course. But it saves you the pain of having a bunch of partitions that never turn out to be the right size. -- Pete Harlan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
