Below for comparison is my (pre-upgrade) /boot partition. I am
still curious about the *-0-rescue-* kernel. It is quite large.
Is it really necessary?

Strange that it takes so much space with only 3 kernels! I keep 5
kernels:
$ rpm -q kernel | wc -l
5
$ du -hs /boot/
204M /boot/
200 Megs for 3 should be plenty.
