Free up more space on /boot

I am in Ubuntu 10.04.

When I install the software updates with "Update Manager", there is a pop up dialog which tells me "The volume "boot" has only 0 byte disk space remaining"

My current kernal in use is:

myname:~$ uname -r
2.6.32-37-generic

The content of boot folder is:

myname:~$ ls -lah /boot
total 217M

Questions:

1. Among those files in boot folder, which can be removed?


2. How to remove by using Synaptic Package Manager tool?

Run sudo apt-get remove linux-image- in a terminal for every kernel you don't need.

As an example sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic will remove the 2.6.32-21-generic version of the kernel and all the associated files. This will free up space on the /boot partition.

To find out which one you should keep, run uname -r. In your specific case, the ones you can safely remove are versions:
2.6.32-21-generic and 2.6.32-28-generic - 2.6.32-36-generic
