I'm pretty sure the image will get downloaded at upgrade-time if you
don't have enough space in /boot.  But you need enough space for the
kernels you have installed + the kernel, initrd and installer images
which is a bit bigger.

The default /boot as of Fedora 10 (and maybe Fedora 9, but I'd have to
go back and git annotate and I'm lazy :-) was 250 megs
