That's where I disagree, actually: in the future, I'll be putting either
300M or 500M on /boot, having used preupgrade to bring one system from
fedora 9? 10? to 13, and I had to delete and delete from /boot to squeeze
it in - it seems to want to install most of the base o/s, and is
*bloated*, that it wants a *lot* of space... and I'm sure we'll see that
reflected in CentOS in CentOS 7 or so.
