OK, if I don't share /boot, then can I boot FC5 directly from the LVM volume? That used to be impossible. As I mentioned in my original email, I have 4 primary partitions already and it will not be possible to install FC5 unless I can share the /boot partition or can boot FC5 directly from its LVM partition. Why shouldn't I share boot (/boot)? All the names in /boot are different between FC4 and FC5, except for the directory /boot/grub. What will go wrong? Is it just an installation issue? If so, that is why I posted in the first place. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
