Travis,
/root cannot be a mointpoint for any filesystem, because it is the
homedir for root.
root's homedir must be on the filesystem with mointpoint /
I would suggest the following mointpoints
/boot
/
/home
/var
/opt
/usr
/usr/local
Like others stated Fedora Core 4 is much newer, and supports more
hardware. Disadvantage of Fedora Core 4 could be, needs more disc space.
If you have a lot of discspace (20GB +) then let go of RH 7.1, RH 7.1
can contain to many security bugs that will not be fixed anymore.
Kind regards,
Jan Gerrit
