** Description changed: When choosing full disk encryption in the quantal version of Ubiquity, the resulting /boot partition seems small. In my test installation /boot came to 228MB. Assuming that each kernel+initrd comes to about 30MB, that doesn't leave much space for old kernels/initrds as kernel upgrades pile-up. Many users do not know how to clear old kernels. A full /boot will mean - they will get "stuck" using an old kernel, potentially missing out on - security updates or hardware enablements. + that no further apt transactions can occur until older kernels are + removed and the newer kernel installation is completed. Users will then + be missing out on security updates, hardware enablements, and installing + new packages.
