There are 3 kernels installed:
6.2.0-24-generic (running)
linux-image-6.2.0-23-generic
/boot/initrd.img-6.2.0-25-generic.new (file 225MB placed by apt upgrade but remember the upgrade broke).

The /boot partition is sized for 3, but maybe today in 2023. This ubuntu system has been being upgraded for several years, so maybe back in the day a kernel image didn't weight 200+ MB but 100MB.
So now I have the problem that I must resize the partition, because kernels are only getting bigger.

With time, my 707M /boot partition will only be fit for one kernel, maybe ubuntu 26.10 or whatever it be.
