boot partition options

hi,

why is /boot formatted ext3?
it's almost static, so without journal as ext2 it should be fine.

does it need to be that big per default 64M-128M should be enough.

we will change that to ext2 in V2.0

Yes, because most users install more that one kernel (updates).

ok, can you please add a boot-parameter similar to maxroot/maxswap in the next release?

Just a note. On my 1.5 disc I just got, 'maxswap' does nothing and the correct parameter is 'swapsize'. 'maxroot' is correct though. Either it has been changed in recent times or it has gotten confused within the community.

hth,
