Map files can be 200k.  Initrds 400k.  My kernels go up to 1.7M (RH
seems to install an uncompressed version as well as a compressed one).

I recently had a clear out so my /boot partition now has only 12M used.

There's no point in making problems for yourself - 30M is nothing out of
a modern hard disc and 10M is just too tight unless you *know* you're
never going to do any kernel fiddling.
