Question Upgrade Help Please!


Hi all,
I have come across a box running RH 7.1. I have the cd's and would like to upgrade it to 8.
When I go through the motions of upgrading, it gets to the point and asks me if I would like to migrate the existing file structure and I gladly click them all. After letting it think and run, it will eventually come back and tell me /boot does not have enough room to continue. Any ideas how to make this larger without having to reinstall 8. I would still like to updrade it to 8.

thanks,
Jay

Well, how big is /boot ? You might have to resize it if its fairly small and the upgrade has files that will exceed its size at this point.
