Search On Debian 8 I want use a separate partition /boot What size use that partition - Startpage Web Search


A suggested size for /boot is 200 MiB unless using UEFI, in which case greater than 512 MiB is needed.
But you really should read some documentation, and decide what is best for your self, and your situation.
Read some of the results from the search engine above.

Why?
Separate /boot partition is unnecessary in many cases. Small /boot partition may cause problems. Large /boot partition wastes useful space.

C.3. Recommended Partitioning Scheme

For new users, personal Debian boxes, home systems, and other single-user setups, a single / partition (plus swap) is probably the easiest, simplest way to go.
But the above URL shows very old info. EXT4 (ext4) is now available.
