I'm having trouble getting the upgrade to finish. It downloaded fine then 
starting unpacking and setting up the new packages. Then it got hung up on 
the initramfs package which I retried several times to configure with dpkg.
Also why are there so many things in the /boot directory.Should I get rid of 
some of them? And how do I do that?
