it looks like F12 will need a 500M /boot partition[1]. My current setup is as follows:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 190M 32M 149M 18% /boot
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-System
58G 4.9G 53G 9% /
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-Home
20G 9.4G 8.9G 52% /home
Or, in plain words, / and /home are LVM ext4 partitions, and /boot is a separate 200M ext3 partition. Anyone could share some tips on what I will need to do in order to make room for the 500M /boot partition? (as safe and non-destructively as possible, of course). Since Fedora 10 I've been installing instead of upgrading: I reformat everything except /home and install from scratch (which has proven to be a nice approach, YMMV). I'd like to stick to this approach, if possible.
I would think that I could remove current /boot, shrink / by 300M using LVM and use the extra space to create a new /boot; is this the best way to go? If so, has anyone done such a thing? Will it be doable from anaconda during the F12 installation?
A jump from the less than 50M needed by F11 to 500M needed by F12 seems to be excessive IMHO (it seems to be due changes on the installation method[2]). However, as long as there's an easy and painless way to make room for the extra space needed, that's allright by me.

Andre
