preupgrade on F12 boot space problem.

When I tried to run the preupgrade programs reboot selection. It report a problem with
/mnt/sysimage/boot/ needing 3M space.

/boot used 159MB free 20.8MB

I clean out old kernels and memtest out of /boot.

any suggestion?

Checking, I find it interesting that I can go from F 10 to 12 now, with preupgrade. I skipped 11 because the number of people posting with install issues didn't drop off after the first week or two. I've got 11 on my laptop, however, because 10 was badly unstable on it. Will use preupgrade on it, RSN, as an experiment. If all's OK, will do my desktop, probably next month. (Right now, I'm busy with NaNoWriMo, and don't want to mess with my main box if I don't have to.)

Thanks for your suggestions. I realize after posting to google. It directed me to
wiki/upgrade.

Thanks
