Usually in Linux from 100 to 150 MB enough for /boot am NOT sure about Fedora 12, and If you want increase the size space my advice do it for /home and /var. Before you start make sure you take the backup from your data.

Hi,it looks like F12 will need a 500M /boot partition[1]. My current setup is as follows:Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on/dev/sda2 190M 32M 149M 18% /boot/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-System58G 4.9G 53G 9% //dev/mapper/VolGroup00-Home20G 9.4G 8.9G 52% /homeOr, in plain words, / and /home are LVM ext4 partitions, and /boot is a separate 200M ext3 partition. Anyone could share some tips on what I will need to do in order to make room for the 500M /boot partition? (as safe and non-destructively as possible, of course). Since Fedora 10 I've been installing instead of upgrading: I reformat everything except /home and install from scratch (which has proven to be a nice approach, YMMV). I'd like to stick to this approach, if possible.I would think that I could remove current /boot, shrink / by 300M using LVM and use the extra space to create a new /boot; is this the best way to go? If so, has anyone done such a thing? Will it be doable from anaconda during the F12 installation?A jump from the less than 50M needed by F11 to 500M needed by F12 seems to be excessive IMHO (it seems to be due changes on the installation method[2]). However, as long as there's an easy and painless way to make room for the extra space needed, that's allright by me.Regards,Andre
