No you can't, read the previous posts. The BIOS boot partition is not the same as /boot, it is a special partition needed for MBR compatibility and nothing to do with the OS files. The partition layout you have is suitable, don't mess with it except possibly to create a separate /home. sda1 and 2 are fine as they are, don't break them. -- Neil Bothwick Computer apathy error: don't bother striking any key.
