Default boot volume on Fedora is 500M, with a kernel installonly_limit of 3. So far this seems sufficient, even accounting for the "rescue kernel" (which is really a nohostonly initramfs, which is quite a bit larger than the standard hostonly initramfs used for numbered kernels).

And, as they say, disk space is cheap, esp. when we buy multiterabyte disks, even for the root drive. (Ok, most of them are 1TB). mark
