I don't think increasing /boot just because of preupgrade is a viable solution, as the installer image continues to grow. Is it possible instead to put the installer image (the real problem) somewhere else, like /? Why does it need to be in /boot? -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
