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??!!

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 called it up both by using sudo vi... and sudo gedit...; I have forgotten the command to only view files, that doesn't offer the user any editing capabilities.

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 total 115M -rw-------. 1 root root 38M Jan 9 2014 initramfs-0-rescue-19a1b60a7cf54849924a3116ee2515bc.img -rw------- 1 root root 16M Jul 18 12:20 initramfs-3.15.5-200.fc20.x86_64.img -rw------- 1 root root 16M Aug 1 17:53 initramfs-3.15.7-200.fc20.x86_64.img -rw------- 1 root root 16M Jul 4 07:44 initramfs-3.14.9-200.fc20.x86_64.img -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5.3M Jul 29 04:59 vmlinuz-3.15.7-200.fc20.x86_64 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5.3M Jul 15 01:49 vmlinuz-3.15.5-200.fc20.x86_64 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5.3M Jun 27 07:51 vmlinuz-3.14.9-200.fc20.x86_64 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 5.0M Jan 9 2014 vmlinuz-0-rescue-19a1b60a7cf54849924a3116ee2515bc -rw------- 1 root root 2.8M Jul 29 04:59 System.map-3.15.7-200.fc20.x86_64 -rw------- 1 root root 2.8M Jul 15 01:49 System.map-3.15.5-200.fc20.x86_64 -rw------- 1 root root 2.8M Jun 27 07:51 System.map-3.14.9-200.fc20.x86_64 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 572K Dec 12 2013 initrd-plymouth.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 193K Apr 4 02:57 elf-memtest86+-5.01 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 191K Apr 4 02:57 memtest86+-5.01 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 140K Jul 29 04:59 config-3.15.7-200.fc20.x86_64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 140K Jul 15 01:49 config-3.15.5-200.fc20.x86_64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 139K Jun 27 07:51 config-3.14.9-200.fc20.x86_64 drwx------. 2 root root 12K Jan 9 2014 lost+found drwxr-xr-x. 20 root root 4.0K Aug 2 07:23 .. dr-xr-xr-x. 6 root root 3.0K Aug 1 17:53 . drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 1.0K Dec 12 2013 efi drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 1.0K Dec 12 2013 extlinux drwxr-xr-x. 6 root root 1.0K Aug 1 17:53 grub2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 167 Jun 27 07:51 .vmlinuz-3.14.9-200.fc20.x86_64.hmac -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 167 Jul 15 01:49 .vmlinuz-3.15.5-200.fc20.x86_64.hmac -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 167 Jul 29 04:59 .vmlinuz-3.15.7-200.fc20.x86_64.hmac 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.

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

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. *** Error in `fdisk': malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000000e512c0 *** ... *** Error in `fdisk': malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000000e512c0 *** *** Error in `fdisk': malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0000000000e51180 *** *** Error in `fdisk': malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000000e512c0 *** ... using cfdisk gets me: FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive Press any key to exit cfdisk and Gparted won't let me increase passed 500mb Richard
