There's no way to migrate a BIOS system that doesn't implement this spec to one that does without a repartition - I can't see any way around that. UEFI will work out of the box. *Practically* speaking, we could support the use of fragments even if there's no separate partition (ie, drop them in /boot directly). This would be outside the spec (there's no guarantee that an arbitrary bootloader will support whatever filesystem/RAID/whatever setup your /boot is on), but would work fine in the Fedora case. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
