Might not be. I have a brand new install here of 7.0 Release (I did build a second kernel), and df is reporting my '/' is 267M. I have /usr and /var (not /tmp) mounted elsewhere. My /tmp is only using 10K right now, and /home has nothing but .cshrc et al so if you want a backup kernel you may need more than 256M.
