Potentially useful to some _other_ Ubuntu users, but bear in mind that
Nikki cannot do that until she has cleared out some space in /boot,
because apt-get/dpkg cannot operate until she does, using Synaptic or
any other front-end (or lack thereof) to apt-get.  Thus the nature of
her problem, you see.  It'll get a 'not enough space on device' error.

Also, some of the advice given on that page looks pretty dubious, to me
(for reasons covered in the linked bug).
