The impression I am getting is that it will eventually fail if the
/boot
partition is too small. My /boot partition is about 100 MB or so. I
removed all older kernels and left the minimum in there. However, more
googling indicated the image it will need is actually over 100 MB.
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.
So, I am not sure if it would eventually fail or not if I try to go
the
preupgrade route. This was from an F10 install, which probably had a
default /boot of 100, but I could be wrong about that, I'm not sure if I
manually did the partitioning or not.
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
