Right, that's been a sort of painful transition, which is one reason why preupgrade isn't as "official" as it should someday be. Now Fedora by default installs a 500 MB /boot, which should be sufficient for the foreseeable future. (Admittedly in free software, things change rapidly so the horizon of "foreseeable" isn't as long as you might find in crustier realms.) ;-) -- Paul W.
