Suse 9.0 installation and boot partition
I'm read tons of documentation on recommended partitioning of Linux. This is what I should have:
/ (root) swap partition /boot While installing Suse 9.0, it proposed me a partition scenario, with only / and swap, no boot partition. Why? I've read some threads in here of people not mentionning their /boot partition. Is /boot absolutely necessary? Please explain.... Also /boot must be in the first 1024 cylinders of our drive. Am I wrong by saying that the MBR = first 1024 cylinders = /boot partition? Thanks for your help! |
Oy, this is a real leap of logic huh?
Suse 9.0 starts right up into the install... and doesnt give you a /boot... So.. from this we gather. /boot, is not a necessary partition for linux! Whee! Problem solved! |
