I have 40GB HD with mepis8, swap, MBR and under flags word boot.
I also have a 160 GB external with a few Linux OS, no swaps, no extended etc. I am total Linux no MS
I would feel more secure by resizing that sda1 partition and creating a /boot partition with the MBR housed there. Is that a possibility and from a boot perspective would it be any more secure
Please advise and thank you
