Oops. I misread something. Thanks!

But to address William's problem of an overfull /boot partition: I have
sometimes rescued a system by just deleting the oldest kernel images to
free up space in boot (or / ) with a rescue CD or USB stick, allowing
the system to boot again to fix up the slightly broken repository
(usually by re-installing the most recent kernel update that overflowed
/boot in the first place).

Yeah, the problem was the comically, "full of clowns" tiny space that didn't allow two kernels (234 Mb), so I could either keep the known-good kernel, or the new one, but not both :-P

I far prefer the way it's set up now, with / and /home, and I probably won't have to worry about this system until I replace it.

Thanks!
