Follow these instructions to clear space:

    /boot only has 243 MB of space with 180MB used (according to GParted) I'm trying to install updates, but i need another 24.9MB freed.

    I want to resize /boot to give it an extra GB (or so) so i can continue downloading updates.

    GParted won't seem to let me do that.

      ok, i used [uname -r] to see what version i am using i used [dpkg -l | grep linux-image] to view the kernels and [sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.13.0-32] etc. to purge the older versions. is that all i need to do?
