If I just define a bootable /boot partition and / partition, will the installer know what to put in each? Of course.
However, you do not need a boot partition, except on some specific situations - and you have not described any of those being your case (some types of RAID, LVM...)-
Having separate /boot with simple filesystem like ext2 is more robust. I have seen cases when grub failed to read ext4 after unclean shutdown because it does not use journal replay.
This is what I had heard from my old listmates in the days of Caldera. I also must say that I /tried/ to install everything onto one big partition (besides swap) and the installation failed. Anyway, now I need to learn enough about GRUB to add the WindowsXP drive. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
