Do i need to do something special or is it as easy as:
- save the contents of the current /boot?- umount /boot and change the
/etc/fstab so it doesn't mount again-??create a boot directory that is in
the?root ?filesystem- copy the contents back
I realize the physical/current /boot will be a waste of space but it's not
that big so?it's fine.???
I thought i probably have to make configuration changes of some sort.
Again I apologize in advance since I am not really good at this (partition/file
system).? I have tried searching but am never sure exactly what I should try.??
I need to find the "for dummies" version(s) of this. Thanks again.

Indeed, /boot does not need to be a separate partition. I have /boot
within the root filesystem on my test boxes where I know I will need to
install many / all kernels for testing / development purposes for the
specific reason that I do not need to set a size for /boot and it can
just consume whatever it needs from the rest of the filesystem.
