Re: problem upgrading RH9 to fedora core 1

Dear Franklin Jones,

You need a partition for the root directory items.  I see you have /boot and
one for /usr; but, you don't have a place for /.....
/ is the ultimate root directory for everything that doesn't go in /boot or
/usr....  which is quite a bit of configuration and other items... /etc /var
/proc /tmp ... etc.

I hope this fixes your problem....
