My oldest machine is the one with the problem... reason is that it has a BIOS that requires a boot within N sectors, and it requires a /boot partition. It has been through several upgrades in the past. The /boot partition is 47 megs. As I said, I cleaned out the /boot partition and then tried the upgrade and found that I needed another 3megs more. So I think the magic number is more like 50 megs. That machine was a "production" machine but is now serves as a canary.
