well maybe it worked but partially

my boot still was at 100 % usage and on rebooting this status did not change

so went to synaptic and tried to get rid of yet another older kernel

the process got stopped with the first error message - not enough space

so this time i went into /boot via sudo nautilus and deleted files
that had to do with 2 of the older uninstalled kernels

dpkg did uninstall but not physically remove it. So no new space was created.

So understanding this i dpkg -r one more linux kernel and have
physically removed  some more stuff from /boot now reading only 78 $%
usage

so am trying now through synaptic to remove some of the other older kernels

it seems i have from 2.6.31-16 through to .22 installed - thats quite a bit
