/boot doesn't need to be 200MB.
It can hold a LOT of kernels/initrd images before 100MB is not enough.
[mpeters at devel ~]$ df -m |grep boot
/dev/hda1 97 22 71 24% /boot
[mpeters at devel ~]$
That's with six different kernels and their related stuff in there, as
well as memtest86. 22MB used, 71 free.
I personally would add a /home in addition to above - so that I can do
fresh installs wiping everything in / without losing my /home data.
