In the beginning program did not. A little reminder from Fedora List, 11/17/09, "F12 upgrade needs more space for /mnt/sysimage/boot" thread, Frank Cox wrote: "It doesn't for me. I have exactly this problem trying to run preupgrade on my Acer Aspire One. It goes through the whole production, downloads everything and at the end it tells me that I need 1.5mb more space in /boot. My only options at that point are "check again" and "quit". If I quit, it's game over. Running preupgrade after that tells me that everything is ready, reboot. If I do so, grub takes me right back into Fedora 11. The only entry in grub.conf is the single kernel that I have left on that machine; there's nothing else that I can see that I could remove from /boot to gain 1.5mb." -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
