Does anyone have a quick and easy method to take a Redhat 9 install, with 110 mb boot sector, and upgrade using the Fedora core 1 install discs and subsequent upgrade option during install?
My attempt produce a failure as the boot sector was not large enough.

Thanks!!

"with 110 mb boot sector"
??? boot sector, as the word says, it's a sector, i.e. 512 bytes... do you mean /boot partition?
I find strange 100mb aren't enought, however unless you have problems related to 2GB boot boundary (i.e. old pc and big / partition) you can simply get rid of /boot partition:

[code]
umount /boot
mkdir /tmp/boot
mount /dev/hda1(or whatever) /tmp/boot
cp -a /tmp/boot/ /boot
umount /tmp/boot
rmdir /tmp/boot
[code]

Now remove your /boot entry from /etc/fstab
If you use lilo, remember to run "lilo" to complete work

Are you sure you're not supplying /boot partition when asked for root (i.e. "/") partition?

Wonder how many kernel updates you have had when you run RH9 .. remove some of them ...

I got the same warning when I upgraded a RH7.2 system to FC1. I ignored the warning and went on with things. IIRC, my /boot partition is 50MB. I'm guessing that Fedora is just recommending a larger partition now, and that's all the warning was. I didn't want to repartition my machine because my its setup as a dual-boot XP/FC1 laptop.

Anyways, its working fine. That being said, I'll keep an eye on the usage of /boot and make sure it doesn't get too full.

Thank you for all of the feedback. I removed 4-6 of the old kernel updates and the aformentioned warning was not part of my upgrade attempt. Thank you for the up.
