I looked using synaptic.  I see 4.4.0-42.62 both in generic and extra.
There are 7 earlier, all listed as installed.  But I also see 4.4.0-47.68,
yet uname shows 42.68.  Is it possible that the install of 47.68 stalled
when I got that memory error?  But regardless, it seems I have some older
stuff to get rid of.

But you said "..., I think."  That makes me reluctant.  Someone as
incompetent as I am needs certainty to minimize the chance of catastrophe.
