I've installed VirtualBox on a Win7 workstation and established a running FC14 VM. Everything was fine until I tried doing a yum upgrade and then I discovered my boot partition needed to be at least 7GB! to be able to perform the upgrade.
That can't de right. No way does the boot partition need to be 7GB. More like 500MB. Do you mean the root partition? If so, try saving space by moving /var/cache/yum to a different partition and leaving a symlink in its place.

I typed GB but meant MB:
