Hi Clive,

> I thought that the upgrades would remove old files they were replacing?

Yes, when package ‘firefox’, say, gets upgraded then the new version of
the package replaces the old one, and any files which were in the old
one but no longer in the new one get removed.  But the kernel packages
are treated differently by some distros, including Ubuntu I think,
because they're concerned your PC won't boot with the new kernel package
so the old one is still required for switching too in GRUB's menu.

From what I hear about it elsewhere, it's nice enough up sticks and move
if they'll let you.  :-)
