#34 recommended /boot too large

[Chris Geddings]

In the guide to building a linux system, specifically
on this page:
http://scv.bu.edu/~jtvh/1.0/building/x88.htm

the section on manually partitioning the drive
recomments 1GB for the /boot partition. The /boot
partition should only contain kernel images, initial
ram disks and a couple other odd small files, and has
no business being more than 20 or 30 meg, ...while the
1 gig partition shouldn't cause any problems (unless
there is funky drive geometry), it is probably not the
best default.

Note that this will only affect people manually
partitioning their drives.
