Chris:
Also bear in mind if you find out later on you haven't made /boot big
enough, it is a right royal pain in the ass to increase the size of
the partition.
From my experience (I researched partitioning for FC6), 10 Meg was
plenty! Enough for a few GRUBs, actually.
Are you sure? After a fresh install the space taken by contents of /boot
exceed 12MB, and that just one kernel.
Furthermore, in researching this issue, I found on TLDP a LAME article
with this:
"The size of this partition can be as small as a couple Mb; I recommend
approximately 10 Mb (which should give you plenty of room to store the
kernel, initial RAMdisk image, and perhaps a backup kernel or two)."
Can you post a link? I suppose this must be a very old article, probably
from a time when the kernel could fit on a floppy.
