[jerry lucas]

System reports no room for upgrade. Have tried several solutions that I have found online to remove old kernels and none work. Unless a workable solution presents I plan to eventually repartition when the next LTS system comes out (will wait a few months for any major bugs to be reported and fixed. Without a solution wuill hobble along until next major upgrade.
