Hi Brian, Sorry for the delay. Your message got buried in the maelstrom of emails.
I'm using the Software Updater that gets called from the System Settings GUI. I get there by clicking the cogwheel in the upper right corner, select About this computer, and hitting the Install Updates button in the lower right corner of the Details pop-up. I was unaware of the 'sudo apt autoremove' option until I saw your email. I just ran it, and it cleaned up a bunch of files, although a couple of errors were reported along the way, but now the boot directory looks healthy again. Thanks for the tip!

I'm getting sick of having to remove them just to see them rebuilt each time a software update is attempted and ultimately fails due to a full partition. The /boot directory is of reasonable size.
