Actually I do have a separate /home (sort of), but I always install new with /home and /boot being part of root. When I'm satisfied the new version is usable, I bind mount /home from a subdirectory on my 2nd disk drive (also one giant partition so space gets equally shared). But even if you want /home separate, having /boot separate always seems to cause nothing but trouble. If you aren't encrypting root or using a filesystem grub doesn't understand, I can't imagine any good reason to make /boot separate. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
