RE: Installing on RP5430...PALO problem
Thanks to all on the list I have gotten a lot further, I managed to get a
palo partition and the setup completed without any errors, cd ejected and
rebooted, I chose the partition and everything started booting then stopped,
I realised the root partition was not in the first 2gb (Got that from the
list emails).
Restarted from scratch, and did it right, managed the install ok, set the
boot partition in gsp, rebooted and got a login.
Fantastic.
Now that it is up and running, \I am going to configure the attached 2
hp2100 disk arrays as LVM, install samba and have hopefully an excellent
fileserver.
Everyone who replied to the 2 emails I sent to the list.......Thanks.......
:-))))))

I would advise no less than 20MB but prefer ~50MB.
Over time one will want more than just one kernel on that partition.
And it's hard to "grow" later.
