My Fedora20 is "SLOW"!
The "Slow" means that in the same net environment ,My Fedora20 OS needs
a long time to open a web ,but the Win7 and MAC OS can easily do that.
And FC20's net speed is always a half of Win7 and MAC OS.Usually
Win7&MAC OS get easily get more 200kb/s but Fedora20 is less than
100kb/s,strange!!!!!
My Computer is Lenovo G470,when I buy it,it was installed Windows OS(I
hate it,so I installed Fedora20 with USB by my self ),and problem is
every time I re-install FC20,it is always slow.And I re-installed it
last night and FC20 showed me the same problem.May be My hardware is not
good to support Linux??!!
But,slow for netspeed is the only problem.I can write codes and compile
programs,I can install OpenCV&Matlab,and they work well!!! And I can
also play movies and mp3,Just slower than other OS when suffering the net.
SO any body can tell me what should i do??!!

Re: fdisk problem
by Chandana De Silva
Glad it worked.
Regarding viewing grub, try sudo cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.
BTW, it is good practice to send all emails to the list, so that others
can see what is going on, and also a future search will show this
exchange to help someone else.

I have not used fedup, but it is quite possible that your boot partition
has copies of several kernels. This can happen if you have been running
system updates as they come up.
Each time the kernel gets updated, it keeps a copy of the previous
kernel, just in case.
If you look in your /boot directory, you are likely to see something
like this, with three of initramfs, vmlinuz, System.map etc;
$ ls -laSh /boot

If you now look at your grub config in /boot/grub2/grub.conf, you will
see three or fur grub menu items which match the files above. If you
delete the files which match the the menu entries except menu entry #1,
it might free up enough space for your upgrade.
Incidentally, on my computer the boot partition (as automatically set up
by the installer is 500 MB with 145 MB used.
Hope this helps

Re: fdisk problem
by Chandana De Silva
Typically, /boot does not need to be anything more than 100 to 150 mb.
If it needs to be bigger than that, you have something very unusual happening.
Try fdisk without the -b option and see if it helps

Re: laptop Digest, Vol 96, Issue 1
by Richard Vickery
Does anyone know how to fix this, I need to double the size of my /boot? currently it won't let me fedup because there is no room on this partition:
$ sudo fdisk -b 1024 /dev/sda1
[sudo] password for richard:
Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.24.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.
Device does not contain a recognized partition table.

using cfdisk gets me:
FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive

and Gparted won't let me increase passed 500mb
