        Not sure why you would bother with separate /boot and /
        partitions on a system with only 4GB of mass storage. Just go
        with a single partition, and limit the installed kernels to two
        -- current and previous -- to save space.

        
        I didn't even have a swap partition on my 900A when I was using
        the 4GB flash drive that came with it. but I had 2GB of RAM, so
        swap wasn't much needed for the kinds of tasks I set that little
        machine to. Of course, I didn't need hibernation, either.

      
    Never thought of just one partition.  Always ASSuMEd that /boot had
    to be by itself.  I guess that just a / partition needs to be first
    and the swap at the end.  I will give that a go.

    
    And how do I change the # of kernels?
