No you can't, read the previous posts. The BIOS boot partition is not the |
| 18 |
same as /boot, it is a special partition needed for MBR compatibility and |
| 19 |
nothing to do with the OS files. The partition layout you have is |
| 20 |
suitable, don't mess with it except possibly to create a separate /home. |

sda1 and 2 are fine as they are, don't break them. |
