[Bug 1191389] Re: package linux-image-extra-3.8.0-25-generic 3.8.0-25.37 failed to install/upgrade: run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1

Having the same issue. (13.04) You guise are losing me with all the
command line talk. I've rarely used command line text and can't safely
do it atm, without step by step instructions.

Just poking around I found this: From the desktop I clicked on FILES,
Then under DEVICES, clicked on COMPUTER. Then clicked on BOOT. I found
BOOT is 225mb. My drive is 120g. BOOT has only 13mb free. The largest
files within BOOT are 5, 32mb Archives:

initrd.img-3.8.0-19-generic 32.0 MB Archive May3
initrd.img-3.8.0-21-generic 32.0 MB Archive May18
initrd.img-3.8.0-22-generic 32.0 MB Archive May28
initrd.img-3.8.0-23-generic 32.0 MB Archive June6
initrd.img-3.8.0-25-generic 32.0 MB Archive June28

That's 160 MB of Archives. So do I simply delete all but the most recent
Archive to free up space? Save the Archive from June28 and delete the
rest?

If that is the answer, HOW do I delete those old Archives? Can't see a
way to inside the BOOT folder. There's no option to delete files there.

  upgrading to Ubuntu 13.04, there also appeared to be a low disk space-
