Hi debian-boot team! Firstly, sorry if this question already was here or were solved in recent d-i releases, I'm not subscribed to debian-boot and do not follow Debian installer's developing process. (Please also CC me in replies). Some time ago I had installed Lenny beta (1?) and followed new installer's suggestion to install /, /usr, /var, /tmp, /home on different partitions. Installer allocated 250 MB to /. All was ok before lenny had acquired kernel updates... Now I have one 2.6.25 kernel and one 2.6.26 kernel. Once, when I tried to upgrade 2.6.26 one, dpkg refused to do it with 'out of disk space'. Most of '/' -space is allocated for /lib that contains kernel modules and other stuff. I think removing previous, "backup" kernel before upgrading is a bad idea. So my proposal is to increase default space for / to ~400-500 MB or about to allow so called 'default-partitioned' system to have 2-3 simultaneous kernel packages with painless upgrading of one of them. Sorry for possible noise. Regards, -- Eugene V. Lyubimkin aka JackYF
