Not enough free disk space when trying to update 14.04

Question

/boot only has 243 MB of space with 180MB used (according to GParted) I'm trying to install updates, but i need another 24.9MB freed.

I want to resize /boot to give it an extra GB (or so) so i can continue downloading updates.

GParted won't seem to let me do that.

YOu need to remove older kernels rather than expand the partition — Thomas Ward, Dec 12 '14 at 00:26
ok, i used [uname -r] to see what version i am using
i used [dpkg -l | grep linux-image] to view the kernels and [sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.13.0-32] etc. to purge the older versions.

is that all i need to do? — Shut Up, Dec 12 '14 at 00:47

Follow these instructions to clear space:

I find the ubuntu-tweak method works well.
