Why would anyone ever need 100 MB for a /boot partition?  Mine is 16 MB - and
only 3.5 MB of it is used...  Also, I don't see why the root partition would
need to be so large, as root doesn't usually store much in his directory, and
/opt is usually mounted as its own partition in RedHat...

If the installation is so quirky, you had better start from scratch with a new
partitioning scheme.  (I don't know how big your drive is or how many users you
have, which would make an impact on how you should partition, of course.)  If
none of your software is dependent on a certain version of RedHat, install a
newer version of something (the computer geek in me would recommend Slackware or
Gentoo or - if you have enough chutzpah - Linux From Scratch), but RedHat is
probably easier to administer...

Here's a related question: why is it that certain software, such as APC's
PowerChute software, requires certain distributions of Linux?  Why can't I seem
to get it to work on my LFS system, and why won't they tell me what the library
dependencies are?  I know that it works on RH 8, but I don't know what libraries
RH 8 has that I don't...

Thanks,
William
