Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2013-10-16 16:09:18 UTC 
Anaconda created my /boot as 500m by default.  I remember in the past fedora did that and it caused problems.  is it enough space, or should it get upped to 1024m.  Discuss and then WONTFIX if appropriate.
Comment 2 David Shea 2013-10-16 17:47:48 UTC 
Fedora currently uses a 500MB /boot. The /boot size changes that have been made were 100MB -> 200MB for F11, since 100MB wasn't enough space anymore for kernels and initrds and such, and 200MB -> 500MB for F13, because preupgrade worked by downloading the full stage2 image into /boot.

fedup/rhelup uses the system's existing software to handle mounting storage, so the initrd it uses is much smaller and the preupgrade size requirement isn't a concern anymore. 500MB as default should be plenty for a while.
