config questions

[Bjorn Meyer]

Well, if I create a /boot of 200MB and / of 1GB, /boot only uses 7% and /
uses 35% of it's space. As for the logs, there are no errors when creating
the partitions or mounting them. The default GRUB script seems to complete
without any issues as well. The only error that is in the error.log is that
it can't read /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules: No such file or
directory. Which I seem to get even if the install completes successfully.

btw, I didn't mention that I am running Debian etch and the default FAI
package that is supplied.

Thanks
Bjorn
