question for GRML users

[Albert E. Sten-Clanton]

I tried that first.  I didn't see a way to put the things that would belong
there in the /boot partition I'd made and put the rest in the /root one.
Unless I'm wrong, this is how Fedora and at least some other versions of
Linux get installed.  My understanding is that this is a way to give what
you need for booting up--at least much of it--some extra protection against
corruption.  (My FC2, which was installed for me where I'd bought the
computer, had a small boot partition, a swap one, and the root one where
everything else was.  I wanted to add a home one this time because of common
advice.)

Thanks for the reply, though, and more thoughts of course welcome,
especially if I'm getting something wrong here.
