The simplest way is to copy your data elsewhere, delete the LVM partition, change or recreate the /boot partition, and so on. Also make a backup (have /2/ copies of your data). (I have two partitions on different disks and ping / pong between them, so I'll be doing something similar.) It is unfortunate that parted / gparted cannot handle LVM. Alternatively, if you remove all unused stuff from /boot, including any failed attempts at preupgrade, and have a (wired) Ethernet connection available at boot time, preupgrade should be able to download the stage2 stuff when it needs it. Sort of like a Net Install, but most of it is already downloaded. People have reported doing this with 100 MB /boot. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:[email protected]> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
