Hi
I have a problems in that i am trying to upgrade to Feisty from Edgy but in the dist upgrade process it tells me i don't have enough disk space on my boot drive (which is a 44meg separate partition). About 8 meg of this is used up with kernal stuff but i still need to free up about 7 meg which means i would pretty much have to delete everything - i assume this would break my system.
Anyway - a 44meg boot partition seems very small so how do i make it bigger (i have plenty of room on another linux partition.
BUT its a dual boot system with WinXP - does this cause any problems - i.e. can i mess up my winxp install by trying to resize linux partitions
my boot driver is EXT2
and the main partition is reiserfs (96gig spare)
(as an aside should i shange to something other than reiserfs now and if so how?)
many thanks
