Lance,

I found that the installation creates a 241 meg partician that is a 
mirror of the /boot directory. That is what gets filled up. I finally 
gave up trying to make more space and reinstalled the system. I am not 
Ubuntu literate enough to figure out the command line instructions.

You would think they would create the larger space during the install if 
this becomes a problem. I like and use Ubuntu all the time and have 
recommended it to friends who are not as computer literate as myself. 
They will not be able to fix this themselves.

I have multiple hard drives, internal and external on my computer, so 
nothing on the drive containing the operating system is really 
important. All data is stored on other drives. starting over fresh is a 
pain in the butt, but put the problem off until The space is used up again.

Bill
