Ubuntu

/boot is full and I can't download updates.

Asked by JOHN

What is /boot and why is it stopping me from downloading updates?
I have looked at the Disk Usage Analyzer which indicates I have about 297 GB of unused space on my hard drive (Main Volume).
/boot has 224.4 MB in it and is full. Will making /boot bigger help?

John

I am using Ubuntu 12.10.

/boot contains the kernel images, so if you have more than one version (I usually keep two), you can delete older ones to recover some space.

Check this page out to know how to do it:
