Anecdotal evidence would suggest that you will be fine. I have yum
upgraded my machine from F11 -> Rawhide -> F12 and I have a 200MB boot
partition. It contains:

[sam@samlap ~]$ sudo du -x /boot
[sudo] password for sam:
224     /boot/efi/EFI/redhat
226     /boot/efi/EFI
228     /boot/efi
271     /boot/grub
13      /boot/lost+found
49539   /boot

So only 50MB in use... I think you will be OK, unless Anaconda is
enforcing some kind of rule that isn't technically necessary.

I hope so. I posted about this a couple of days ago, but got nothing conclusive: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2009-November/msg00117.html

I was just looking for some confirmation from people who have been there, done that, before I tried it myself. Thks for sharing your experience.

Anyone else? ;-)

Regards,

Andre
