sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x-x-generic does not work
Unable to install anything as in synaptics, because there is no space on boot.
I get a message that boot has 0 bytes available.
After reading certain posts about this, I tried removing some of the old kernels, but each time I try, I get an error message saying that I should run apt-get -f install
When I try to run that, it says, I don't have enough space to run that command:
userone@userone:~$ sudo apt-get -f install
