Simple, I have never had to resize / or /boot before. I have had to |
| 38 |
resize /usr, /var and /home several times tho. THAT is the reason. For |
| 39 |
me, it doesn't matter if it is rational to YOU or not. I am the one |
| 40 |
doing things on my puter not you or anyone else. If the init thingy |
| 41 |
fails, that will be me staring at a error message, not you. |

I hope that clears it up for you. |
