Low Disk Space on"boot"
The volume "boot" has only 20.9 MB disk space remaining.
I'm only keeping 2 old kernels now. I did not do anything to shrink /boot. What has grown so much recently? What do I delete?
Here's what's in /boot:

You think you're only keeping 2 kernels, but you definitely have a full 3 kernels there (plus the rescue one).
No, I don't think I'm only keeping 2 kernels. I'm keeping 2 old kernels. There's also the current kernel and the rescue.
Your /boot partition is too small, but if you actually reduce it down to 2 kernels, you should be fine.
ok.
Here I go...

You could also probably migrate the /boot directory into /, but without having a live USB option, that might be a bit risky.
That does look risky, live USB or no live USB!
Now I need to hunt down the other steps from my December thread. I'll post more when that's done.
