        Yes.  :-)
        Start by cleaning up /; usually that starts with /tmp ... but
you've already got that on a separate partition,
        As for the size - the machine I'm currently on shows:

huff@> du  /boot | sort -nr | head
210558  /boot
93642   /boot/kernel
93002   /boot/kernel.old
22978   /boot/GENERIC
22      /boot/defaults
2       /boot/zfs
2       /boot/modules
2       /boot/firmware

        That's 220mb just for kernels.  There's no reason I can't
delete kernel.old or GENERIC ... but having fall-backs lets me sleep
better.
        Add 13m for /sbin, 20m for /lib, and you're pretty much done.
        (That machine has a 500mb /.)
