Do i need to do something special or is it as easy as:
- save the contents of the current /boot - umount /boot and change the
/etc/fstab so it doesn't mount again- create a boot directory that is in the root filesystem- copy the contents back I realize the physical/current /boot will be a waste of space but it's not that big so it's fine. I thought i probably have to make configuration changes of some sort. Again I apologize in advance since I am not really good at this (partition/file system). I have tried searching but am never sure exactly what I should try. I need to find the "for dummies" version(s) of this. Thanks again. KM
Assuming you have backups, if something should go south, you might want to try out the Gparted boot-iso.
Using Gparted you should be able to shrink some of the other partitions, and then grow the boot partition.
More info on: https://gparted.org/index.php
If you have another non-critical computer to test using Gparted on, do that first before doing it "for real".
Hope this helps. -- //Sorin
