The reason we bumped the warning level for /boot is that over the span of a release cycle, there will be a number of kernel errata released. And since up2date doesn't actually remove old kernels, it's better to make sure you have some extra room there. Also, the UML kernel is about 30 megs, so it takes a significant chunk of space if you install it. The 20 meg part is just a warning to help people from shooting themselves in the foot for later. /boot on my laptop is only 24 megs so it's definitely not a hard requirement :-) Cheers, Jeremy
