    hi, when I try to run the Software-update there is always this problem:
    sorry, in german:
    Die Systemaktualisierung benötigt 86,0 M an freiem Speicherplatz auf der Festplatte »/boot«. Bitte stellen Sie mindestens 33,0 M an zusätzlichem Speicherplatz auf der Festplatte »/boot« zur Verfügung. Leeren Sie beispielsweise den Müll und löschen Sie temporäre Pakete aus früheren Installationen mit dem Befehl »sudo apt-get clean«.


    ..there is no space on directory /boot to manage the softwar-update...
    what can I do ? I had made a full os-newinstallation some months ago but now it's the same problem..

    The problem is often a lot of unused kernels, they need too much space. Every time your Distro gets a new kernel, the old version is still stored in /boot

    Instead of deleting just the old unused kernel files (what is possible too), is seems to be better purge them by the terrminal. A good explanation is here: http://askubuntu.com/a/90219

    This should help :)
