Since this is an older Dell laptop (2005? vintage) I allocated about 100MBs when partitioning for /boot.

In trying to complete this upgrade I've removed all kernels except for the most recent one in order to free up space. That still doesn't give me enough.

There are other "tricks" described on Fedora Project's Wiki for freeing/finding space in order to do the upgrade.

My question is it better to just repartion a few partions (adding a little more to /usr; removing a little from /usr)? Or just to go out and buy another cheap Dell rebuilt laptop.

Repartitioning this one would be a bit of a bear. It's going to be faster to start over from scratch.

But if this laptop works for you, why buy another one, just back up your stuff and do a fresh install. No need to get another laptop, just because you can't fiddle the partitions.
