I tried that first. I didn't see a way to put the things that would belong there in the /boot partition I'd made and put the rest in the /root one. Unless I'm wrong, this is how Fedora and at least some other versions of Linux get installed. My understanding is that this is a way to give what you need for booting up--at least much of it--some extra protection against corruption. (My FC2, which was installed for me where I'd bought the computer, had a small boot partition, a swap one, and the root one where everything else was. I wanted to add a home one this time because of common advice.) Thanks for the reply, though, and more thoughts of course welcome, especially if I'm getting something wrong here.
