Subject: [gentoo-dev] boot partition size recommendation
Date: Tue May 1 10:41:01 2001 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010501124002.A5198@ryoohki.net> (raw)
I'm in the process of downloading and installing gentoo and as I was
looking over the install directions I noticed that the recommendation
is for the boot partition to be ~100 megabytes. I'm wondering why so
large? On one of my linux boxes the boot partition is 4 MB and I'm
only using 36% of it. I know discs are cheap but 100 MB seems like a
lot of overkill and wasted space.
