Ok so I am not sure what to do, my boot was full and I cleaned it up by manually removing the old kernals and then ran sudo apt-get -f install to fix dependency or so I thought, during that process it tried to install the next kernal or something and ran out of space, Now my /boot is full but it doesn't appear there is anything for me to clean. Please help this is an emergency.
Here is the results of: uname -r
4.4.0-206-generic
So then I ran this:
dpkg -l linux-image-* | awk '/ii/{print $2}'
Which gave me:
linux-image-4.4.0-200-generic
dclarke@NASBUBUNTU:~$ dpkg --list 'linux-image*' | grep ^ii
ii linux-image-4.4.0-200-generic 4.4.0-200.232 amd64 Signed kernel image generic
So I tried to remove 200 by running this:
sudo apt-get remove linux-image-4.4.0-200-generic
Which gave me this:
