The issue may be not that /boot is too small, but that you're using
/ (the root filesystem) for everything _including_ /boot. In that
case, yup, you're going to run out of space PDQ (pretty damned quick).
On my laptop, for instance:
[rick@golem3 ~]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
76G 41G 31G 58% /
/dev/sda3 92M 30M 58M 34% /boot
tmpfs 1002M 76K 1002M 1% /dev/shm
No, it is separate, and at present
/dev/sda1 104M 38M 61M 39% /boot
As mentioned, in my earlier googling, it seemed that the new image will
require, at some point, about 116 MBs.
Thanks for the further clarification.
