During Update procedure the installation program states that I have about 130 kB space missing in /boot partition to install the new /boot files. Any tricks how I can make it. I tried to delete the file .journal before the installation but the system would not allow me to do so. Any suggestions? (Besides re-partitioning...)

In particular, you won't need the big vmlinux-2.4.2-2 file. If /boot has not enough space to hold at least the new kernel files, do you really need a separate /boot partition? You could modify /etc/fstab of your RHL 7.1 to not mount a separate /boot partition and move the directory onto your /-partition where you should have no space problems. - -- Michael, who doesn't reply to top posts and complete quotes anymore. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/gtHT0iMVcrivHFQRAqr7AJ9XISilyJIf+znylEXfJs1IbyuoSACePe/f lSRE1wxerqv0bAt+TkV4LL8= =0mnJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
