partitioning

[Janina Sajka]

Just to be clear, Glen, the Red Hat installer will write data to /,
and to /boot, whether or not these are two separate partitions won't
really matter. But, it will write much, much more data ot /usr. That's
the only big mistake in the scheme you posted originally. Swap thos two
around, what you initially called /root but is really /, and /usr. /usr
needs to be relatively big, and / can be relatively small.
