How can I make the space allocated to /boot bigger?



There is a related question How do I free up more space in /boot? but that is not what I want to do.



Added.

There are 2 parts to this:



  1. Open a terminal and run ls /boot


    If boot is full of old kernels you can go remove happy on them, I recommend keeping the original, the latest and the one before latest. The lowest number is normally the shipping kernel, the highest number will be the latest.



  2. To grow boot you first need to shrink another partition so you have free space. I would suggest using the GParted partition editor on a live Ubuntu USB to do this. First decrease the size of / or /home depending on your setup. Then increase the size of /boot.
