Should I make the partition size slightly larger (on future installs) to eliminate this problem? Ed ------------------------------ =A0 I had the same problem and since my drives are large I just started making = all my new builds with / set for 1G. As I understand it this is not actuall= y the solution the "in the know" folks recommend. I was advised to just del= ete kernel.old. Of course this will work but what about when you might need= kernel.old to get you out of a jamb or just want to keep it for nostalgia. =A0 I think I'm finally at the point where I will stop doing make buildworlds u= nless absolutely needed. I've been keen on doing this regularly but I reall= y should adopt the policy of if it ain't broken don't fix it.=0A=0A=0A =
