When transferring from Windows OS as a new Linux user, I clicked on the Ubuntu download and install button and followed the instructions. Ubuntu set up a 250Mb boot partition on a fresh flash hard drive. Two problems resulted:

1) Updates quickly filled up the boot partition and no more updates are reaching a completed status

2) The updates are not smart enough to set security settings to cleanup the boot partition before adding updates

Why the install set the boot partition to 250Mb if it needs more, I do not know.
